Showa Kinen Park was built on the former site of the U.S. Army’s Tachikawa Airfield as part of the 50th anniversary of Emperor Showa’s reign, and there are free and charged areas.

Many flowers and plants are planted in the park, and visitors can enjoy the changes depending on the time of year and the season. Typical examples are cherry blossoms and tulips in spring, water lilies and sunflowers in summer, cosmos, ginkgo and maple in fall, and plum and sasanqua in winter.
