Asukayama Park (飛鳥山公園 Asukayama Kōen?) is a public park in Kita, Tokyo, Japan.
In the early eighteenth century, shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune planted many cherry trees in the area and opened up the land for the enjoyment of the "Edokko" or citizens of Tokyo. The park was formally established, alongside Ueno Park, Shiba Park, Asakusa Park, and Fukagawa Park, in 1873 by the Dajō-kan, as Japan's first public parks. In 1998, three museums were opened inside the park, designed by AXS Satow: the Kita City Asukayama Museum (?), the Shibusawa Memorial Museum (?), and the Paper Museum (?).
