Surrounded by beautiful forested mountains, Kenritsu Aikawa Park is a great place for day trips from Tokyo. You can take a picnic and enjoy wandering though the beautifully landscaped gardens. If you have children with you they will enjoy the pool in summer, and the giant trampoline domes at any time of year.
