Shakujii Park

The park encompasses 165,700 square meters with two distinct ponds, Sanpoji and Shakujii, surrounded by dense woodland and recreational facilities.

Established on March 11, 1959, the park includes remnants of Shakujii Castle, which served as a fortress for the Toshima clan during medieval times.

The annual Teruhime Festival commemorates Princess Teru through traditional performances and ceremonies, drawing local residents to celebrate regional heritage.

Visitors can access the park within 7 minutes by foot from Shakujii-koen Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, with facilities including tennis courts and baseball fields.

The Sanpoji Pond, known historically as a non-freezing body of water, maintains its water level through groundwater pumping systems due to urban development.
