Hikarigaoka Park — Attraction in Tokyo

Today, Monday 15 April 2024 we were going to Hikarigaoka Park at noon time. Not much people there so it made us feel comfortable to have a picnic there, to do Moslem prayer under falling Cherry Blossoms flowers. Yes, there are still some trees having blooms! People are coming to play on the Lawn Plaza, to put matrass under tree shadows and take a nap or eat and drink, some are working on their laptops, some are practising their flute, guitar even trumpet playing! For picnic, in front of that huge park (so huge that most locals using bicycles to go there) there is 7 11 conbini (Japanlish for convenient store) where you can buy your food and drinks. It has choices of fresh smoothies, too! There are also restaurants like KFC, Sizeriya etc and event a shopping mall! The toilets are clean but they do not have bidet or sprayer, only tissue paper to wipe. So for moslems, if you want to conduct prayers after having Number 1 or Number 2 of nature calls, you better bring a bottle of water inside the loo to wash the private area. After that, you can take ablution on the wash sink. Please do not make wet the floor. Do what Ahlul Bayt (the close family of Mohammad Rasulullah) teach us: a hand of water to pour on your face, then a hand of water for your right lower arm from elbow, then a hand of water for the left lower arm. Then use what is left on your hand to lightly wipe the top of your head then right top of the foot then the left one. That way need a small amount of water and can keep the area...

This is one of the best places in Tokyo. It's about a 6-minute walk from Hikarigaoka station. I frequently visit there. I have been there in all four seasons. I cannot express in words how the garden changes in all four seasons. Here, you can see different kinds of playgrounds, and you can play any sport in this park. Football, solo tennis, outdoor basket ball, badminton, etc. You can see lots of children playing and enjoying themselves here. It has a really nice jogging track for the joggers. I jogged there last year, and it was a nice experience. Hikarigaoka Park is the best place to go picnicking. I did a picnic twice under the beautiful sakura tree. It was very beautiful to see a sakura petal floating in the wind. However, Hikarigoka Park is a huge area. You can spend a whole day here. There is a library for book lovers, too. If you want to go shopping, you can go to the IMA Mall. It has almost everything you need. Various restaurants are located around the park and inside the mall. I highly recommend visiting there. This is a wonderful place for spending leisure time with nature, and you can have a...

It is a great park. One of the best that Tokyo has.

You can play almost all sports in this park. They have a football field for children, a jogging track, solo tennis training, outdoor basketball, baseball, and many more.

The jogging track is a soft road, and you can choose the easy trail if you want to. It is a great place to run.

The picnic during summer was great, everything getting colorful in this park.

The mall is easy to get to, there are a lot of restaurants there, near the mall, and sometimes they have a bazaar. It's really good to live around there.

So many children also enjoy the playground park, there are plenty of vehicles that we can play with our children.

The park is surrounded by apartments and also houses. So maybe is not a good idea to make it noisy before 9 am.

In winter, if the snow falls, you can enjoy a lot of fun with the upside downhill.

The toilet is near, but sometimes we can spot some dirtiness. But it was tolerable.

I always love to see the town park. It is original and...
