Surrounded by beautiful forested mountains, Kenritsu Aikawa Park is a great place for day trips from Tokyo. You can take a picnic and enjoy wandering though the beautifully landscaped gardens. If you have children with you they will enjoy the pool in summer, and the giant trampoline domes at any time of year. You can walk or ride to cute train to Miyagase Dam and take the elevator to the top for fantastic views of the surrounding scenery.

Paths zigzag through the garden to the top of the hill

Azaleas were starting to bloom

Beautifully landscaped hill garden

These white domes are huge trampolines!

We were too late to enjoy walking under the cherry blossom along this avenue

This cute train will transport you to Miyagase Dam if you don't fancy walking

If you follow this road it will take you to the dam

Miyagase Dam

Cave-like stone monument
