Purchase your ticket here (¥1600) this includes park entry.
Holding the title of the largest park in the Tokyo area, Showa Kinen Park is filled with an array of beauty to enjoy no matter the season you visit in. The autumn months here are particularly beautiful, with one of the highlights being almost 100 ginkgo trees lined along a 300 meter stretch known as ginkgo avenue.
Showa Kinen Park is the most beautiful in autumn, with the maple and ginkgo trees blushing in fiery red and yellow respectively. The ginkgo trees are the first to turn and you can see two boulevards of the golden yellow trees as soon as you enter the park’s Tachikawa gate. These trees are expected to turn full yellow in mid-November.
The momiji and kaede trees, however, present their signature vermillion hues a bit later towards the end of November.
During this season, the park stays open after dark, with special light-ups taking place at the Gingko Tree Avenue (near the futsal and basketball courts) and the traditional Japanese Garden from 4.30pm until 8.30pm.
While you can enjoy the light-ups at Gingko Tree Avenue with just the park's regular admission fee (¥450, free for junior high school students and younger), you need an extra ticket to enter the Japanese Garden (advance ticket online ¥1,200, primary and junior high school students ¥600; same-day tickets sold at Komorebi House close to the Japanese Garden ¥1,300, ¥700).
Tickets to enter the Japanese Garden ARE NOT YET available to purchase online -(this link is for my benefit and I will update when I am aware of the new link)
We will meet at Nishi-Tachikawa station at 3.30pm. Please ensure your early arrival.

After the event, you may submit a review/evaluation. Please kindly rate appropriately as a low evaluation has an impact on the group. Things you should clearly understand in advance:
- I (Mark) am not a tour guide. For many events this will also be my first time, and events are mainly organised based on intensive internet research.
- Nature cannot be guaranteed, so flower festivals may be impacted by the recent climate.
- We aim to depart on time, however bus schedules might change. This is unavoidable.
- We request participants arrive EARLY. In rare cases we might wait a few minutes if we do not need to take a bus.
- The number of participants is not guaranteed. However we will not have large groups.
- The event finish time might be earlier or later than advertised. The hiking time might be longer/shorter than anticipated. Return bus times are not guaranteed.
