Koganei Park

Koganei Park is a park in Koganei, Japan, that covers about 80 hectares and includes multiple areas for sports, cycling paths, and recreational facilities for families. The grounds offer wide lawns, playgrounds, and quiet zones among tree groves.

The park was established in January 1954 and has since developed from an open space into a major recreational destination in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The administration gradually added new facilities and sections over the decades.

The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum within the park displays relocated historical buildings arranged in a traditional village formation. Visitors can walk through this collection of old structures and understand how people lived and worked in earlier times.

The park has multiple entrances from the surrounding cities of Koganei, Kodaira, Nishitokyo, and Musashino with available parking spaces. It is best visited on weekday mornings or afternoons when fewer families are present.

The park maintains 1,400 cherry trees that bloom in spring and attract thousands of visitors who picnic under the pink blossoms. Additionally, the grounds form the source point of the Shakujii River, which supports the local water ecosystem.
