Colorful season in a colorful park

Traditional fountains are so inspiring...

The contrast of the colors is simply amazing!

Even on a cloudy day it can be so beautiful

The park has quite a spacious area in the middle where you just want to start running around!

Watching people from all ages enjoying Mother Nature is an extraordinary feeling

Three colors in a single picture. Perfect!

Here is the park's Japanese-style garden. Breathtaking reflections

For a moment it seems like we are floating in the clouds...

Another beautiful reflection full of colors!

Red colors near the traditional tea house. One of the park's most spectacular sights!

Green tea (maccha) and a Japanese traditional sweet! It was delicious!

Red colors and reflections... Just can't get enough of it...

The fallen leaves purposely left on the ground give a movie-like autumn atmosphere

On the way back, the ginkgo tree tunnel from the opposite side

Is there a better season than autumn to enjoy the beautiful colors that cover Showa Memorial Park?

Located in Tachikawa, Tokyo, this 163-hectare park was established in 1983 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Showa's Emperor reign.

Especially if you like outdoor activities, you can go for a walk, a run, or even rent a bicycle in the park, being able to ride the 11-km bike trail it offers.

In this season, you can also enjoy the beautiful yellow colors of the ginkgo trees, and the red colors of the maple leaves.

Autumn is here! Visit and enjoy!
