Arakawa Nature Park — Attraction in Tokyo

I found this place while staying in the Arakawa section of Tokyo. I been to all the other more famous wards and sights that Tokyo had to offer. When I travel though, I also like to check out the more local flavor. Whether its interesting or even if its just boring. Well, I walked around Arakawa and found this cute park and it was a very pleasant surprise. I just happened to walk right into without knowing where it was or that it was even in the area. I had no clue what I would find and this was beautiful.

A very lovely park in Arakawa and I certainly would recommend it if you're in or planning to stay in the area.

Would I say go out your way to see this park if you're visiting Tokyo? No, I wouldn't. Especially if you're pressed for time.

If you're in Tokyo for an extended period or better yet; if you're living in the Arakawa or Taito ward, it won't hurt to check it out if you're...

Wonderful park with sports park and a traffic park where kids can use pedal cars and pedal go-carts, and tricycles, bicycles and unicycles for free. There's also a turtle pool, a small lake and wooded area. Not far from Keisei Machiya and Chiyoda Line Machiya Stations, and served by Sakura Tram/Toden Arakawa Nichombe station. Slope and lift access for wheelchairs and those with mobiliity issues. Excellent coffee and good light meals at the cafe inside Yuinomori Arakawa library...

This is a nice getaway from urban sprawl that is found on all sides for many kilometers. Tokyo is a massive city and sometimes you really want to hang out in the park where you cannot hear the road noise. This park is very well maintained and has some nice benches to sit on. This destination is probably only worthwhile for people who live fairly close by, because there are other parks in other parts...
