An urban park stretching along both banks of the Arakogawa River in Minato Ward, Nagoya. About 1,000 Somei Yoshino cherry trees line the riverside, and the park turns a soft pink each spring. The cherry-lined path runs for about 1 kilometer, drawing crowds for strolls and picnics.

The annual Sakura Festival, held from late March to early April, features concerts, workshops, and food trucks timed to the cherry blossom season. The trees are also illuminated at night, creating a magical view of the blossoms after dark.

Beyond cherry blossoms, the park is planted with seasonal flowers, including tulips, lavender, roses, sunflowers, and plum blossoms. The lavender fields are among the largest in Aichi Prefecture. There’s also a lawn plaza, a Japanese garden, an athletics area with playground equipment, and a day camping site, offering plenty of ways to spend the day.
