Koganei Park

小金井公園

Koganei / Sakuracho · near Musashi-Koganei Station (JR Chuo Line) then bus, or Hana-Koganei Station (Seibu Shinjuku Line)

A huge, flat, family-friendly park famous for spring cherry blossom, with a dedicated children's playground zone, bouncy dome and long sled run. The Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum sits inside its western edge.

Why children love it: Sled down the big artificial-grass slope, bounce on the fuwafuwa dome, tackle the toddler playground, and hire cycles — with masses of open lawn for picnics under the cherry blossoms.
