At the Nakano City Araiyakushi Park in Nakano Ward, and Araiyakushi is on the premises there are 24 Someiyoshino cherry trees planted in the park, and it is the main site of Nakano Street Cherry Blossom Festival.

 The daytime cherry blossoms and cherry blossom tunnels that blend in with the buildings of Araiyakushi are magnificent, but what is even more attractive is the nighttime cherry blossoms that are reflected in the light of the lanterns after it gets dark.

The indescribably solemn atmosphere can be described as a cherry blossom viewing experience for adults. The park faces Nakano Dori Avenue, which is lined with cherry trees from Nakano Station to Philosophical Avenue, so it can be enjoyed in combination with other cherry blossom viewing spots in the area.

The park also has many places for children to play, including a green and shaded plaza, a children’s hall, a jabu-jabu pond, and a sandbox.
