08Apr2017. This is a long (by walking standards) park along the river bank. Unlike Ueno park which has smaller areas of sakura, in Gongendo Park I walk under the sakura along the full length of the park. For me, this is the best place to view sakura. This park is not as crowded as Ueno park during the sakura season (I guess because it is more remote). However, I was going by train so I took the train to the nearest train station, which was the [Minami-Kurihashi Station] station. Then I walked about half an hour (about 2 and a half KM) from the train station to the Northern end of Gongendo Park. The walk from the station to the park was also quite pleasant, passing by the country side houses & farms. FrancisTLim.

A great place to get away from the frantic pace of Tokyo for a day and easy to get to. Keep going out of the shopping district and explore the local area. Really beautiful shrines and temples. There is a hop on, hop off bus, but it’s easily doable by foot. Pick up a map from the tourist information centre on the Main Street past the bell tower. In the same street as the bell tower there is a Starbucks on the left. Really nice garden out the back to sit and have a break.
