Shakujii Park, Metropolitan park in Nerima, Japan
Shakujii Park is a large metropolitan park in Nerima with two ponds surrounded by dense woodland and leisure facilities. The two bodies of water sit in different sections of the grounds, with the Sanpoji and Shakujii ponds each ringed by waterside paths.
The grounds opened as a public park in 1959 and preserve remains of a medieval castle. The fortress once served the Toshima clan during regional conflicts in feudal Japan.
The name comes from the nearby Shakujii Temple, whose history intertwines with the area. Families use the waterside paths for strolling, while anglers set up their rods along the pond banks in the early morning.
The grounds sit seven minutes on foot from Shakujii-koen Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. Sports fields and tennis facilities are available for visitors seeking active recreation.
The Sanpoji Pond was historically known as a body of water that never froze, inspiring local legends. Today its water level is maintained by groundwater pumps after urban development affected the natural springs.
