Showa Memorial Park

#thingstodo Showa Memorial Park, originally a post-war base for the US military, is located in Tachikawa City on the outskirts of Tokyo. After the US military returned the land and evacuated, it was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emperor Showa's reign. It is about 40 kilometers away from downtown Tokyo (Yokohama The distance to here is about the same), and it occupies an area three times the size of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Because the park is very large, and there are more than 1,500 cherry blossom trees, and the grassy field in front of the cherry blossom forest is super large and very suitable for children's activities, so I have chosen this place in the past few years.
