Kinuta Park
Kinuta Park (砧公園 Kinuta Kōen?) is a park in Setagaya, Tokyo. The total area is 39 hectares (96 acres), 240,000;m² of which are grass.
Kinuta Park is famous for its cherry blossom (sakura) viewing. It has at least three varieties: Someiyoshino (photo), Yamazakura, and Yaezakura—which makes for a relatively long hanami viewing season of over two weeks.
There are 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.
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.
The park was opened on April 1, 1957. After the Pacific War (World War II), it was a public golf course. Later the golf course was closed to form the current Kinuta Park.
