Asukayama Park, Public park in Ōji, Japan.
Located on a 25-meter hill, Asukayama Park contains 600 cherry trees, three museums, historic locomotives, and a children's playground area.
Tokugawa Yoshimune established this park in 1720, making it the first public park in Japan, before its official declaration in 1873.
During spring, hundreds of visitors gather beneath illuminated cherry blossoms for traditional hanami celebrations with food and festivities.
The park offers free admission and features a complimentary monorail service from Oji Station to transport visitors to the hilltop location.
The park's self-propelled monorail, nicknamed Escargot for its snail-like appearance, provides wheelchair-accessible transportation to the summit.
