Cherry blossoms in Kinuta Park, March 2004 Kinuta Park (砧公園, Kinuta Kōen) is in Setagaya, Tokyo.
One thing the park is famous for is cherry blossom (sakura) viewing. It has at least three varieties—Someyoshino (photo), Yamazakura, and Yaezakura—which makes for a relatively long viewing season of over two weeks.
A Japanese page (http://www.tokyo-park.or.jp/kouen/park.cgi?id=19) gives the total area as 391,262.26 m², 240,000 of which are grass. It also has a colorful map (http://www.tokyo-park.or.jp/kouen/img/map/19.gif).
Facilities
There are also Baseball fields, Soccer fields, cycling courses and the Setagaya Art Museum.
The 1667 m cycling course doubles as a walking course outside the hours 9–16.
Access
The Tōmei Expressway (東名高速道路, Tōmei Kōsoku Dōro) runs along the south side; Kampachi (環八, the #8 ring road), along the east. The Tōmei Expressway ends at that intersection.
History
The park was opened in April 1, 1957. After the Pacific War (WWII), it was a public golf course.
