The Sendai Horikawa Park, one of the largest water parks in Tokyo with a total length of 3.7 km, and Minamisuna Ryokudo Park, a park planted on the former Toden site located on the southwest side of the park, are a pair of spots known as the best cherry blossom viewing course in Koto City.

Sendai Horikawa Park has a 900-meter-long row of cherry trees along both banks of the river, with some 350 someiyoshino and kanhizakura cherry trees beautifully reflected in the numerous fish ponds, ponds, and rivers where visitors can get close to the water.

Minamisuna Ryokudo Park is one of the oldest cherry tree-lined areas in Koto City, planted in 1979, with approximately 100 Someiyoshino cherry trees creating a tunnel of cherry trees.

A stroll around the two parks is recommended for all generations, and you will surely be healed by the cherry blossoms and greenery.

There are also a number of parks full of greenery in the surrounding area, as well as many prominent tourist attractions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo and KidZania.
