This park has something for everyone! Radio taiso at 6:30 am, two dog runs, a traditional Japanese house you can tour, a bamboo grove, a shrine, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, numerous varieties of hydrangeas, gardenia, sunflowers, lavender, amazing fall foliage, playgrounds…the list could go on and on! I love running here no matter the weather and season. If it’s either raining or super hot and sunny you are protected by the beautiful tall trees with their lovely leaves and branches. The Ginko trees make a gorgeous yellow carpet with their leaves in December. Highly recommend this park!

Great park with lots of different attractions. The main of which is actually the dog park (dog run) that’s pretty big and if you have a dog it will most probably have fun. There is also a nice cherry blossoms area and a magical bamboo forest. The second part is a compound dedicated to Japanese philosopher Kenjirō Tokutomi whose pseudonym was Roka and the garden is named in his honor. There is a small museum retelling his life, travels, writings and more. Tokutomi is also buried here next to his wife.

Went here with a mom friend as she lives nearby and it came to my suprise the sakura was almost full bloom! It also has beautiful tulips and other type of flowers. Grateful that day was sunny and warm. My son loves the dog-watching at its dog run area. Eventhough it is nestled in the middle of residential area, I saw many tourists also visited this park.

徳富蘆花旧宅という説明板には以下のように書かれてました。 徳富蘆花は、肥後国葦北郡（あしきたぐん）水俣村手永、（現在の熊本県水俣市）に代々惣庄屋を勤めた徳富家の三男として、明治元年（1868）10月25日（旧暦）に生まれました。名は健次郎。明治三十一年から翌年にかけて「国民新聞」に連載した長編小説「不如帰（ほととぎす）」が明治文学の中でも有数のベストセラーとなった。 明治四十（1907）年2月27日に青山高樹町の借家から、北多摩郡千歳村字粕谷のこの地に転居した。トルストイの示唆を受け、自ら「美的百姓」と称して晴耕雨読の生活を送り、大正2年（1913）に6年間の生活記録を「みみずのたはこと」として出版、大正7年（1918）には自宅を恒春園（こうしゅんえん）と名付けた。昭和二年七月に群馬県伊香保に病気療養のため転地するが、同年九月十八日駆けつけた兄猪一郎（蘇峰）と会見したその夜に満58歳で死去した。墓所は旧宅の東側の雑木林の中にあり、墓碑銘は兄蘇峰の筆による。 昭和十二年（1937）蘆花没後10周年に際し愛子夫人から建物とその敷地及び蘆花の遺品のすべてが当時の東京市に寄付され、翌年2月27日「東京市蘆花恒春園」として開園した。 この旧宅は、母屋、梅花書屋、秋水書院の3棟の茅葺き家屋からなり、これらは渡り廊下によって連結されている。「美的百姓」として生きた蘆花の20年間にわたる文筆活動の拠点であり、主要な建物は旧態をよく留めている。

Very quaint, but nice gardens commemorating a famous Japanese writer who was inspired by what was once a serene Western Tokyo. Entrance is free and English language information is available.
