Tonogayato Garden is a paid garden located in Kokubunji City, but the adjacent park is open to the public for free.

The somewhat formal name "Open Park Area" comes from this.

Since we're here, let me give you a quick introduction to Tonogayato Garden.

It was originally developed as a villa for the vice-president of the South Manchuria Railway in the Taisho era, and later became the detached residence of the Iwasaki family of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu in 1929.

After that, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government purchased the land, and it was named "Tonogayato Garden" because of its location in the area called Kokubunji-mura Tonogayato.

The "kaiyu-shiki rinsen garden" (stroll garden) that takes advantage of the cliffs and valleys, which are characteristic of the Musashino Plateau, is a must-see!

Now, let's get down to business.

To get to the park of Tonogayato Garden, go past the south exit rotary of Kokubunji Station and head south on the street in front of "Sutadon."

You should see the entrance to the park like this.

It's a park surrounded by many trees, and it's probably the widest park near Kokubunji Station.

However, the name brand of Tonogayato Garden is not very well utilized, and it doesn't have much character.

In other words, it's the very definition of simple.

And, there were several benches in the park where you could sit and take a break.

There were two-seater wooden benches installed.

Since there is shade in some areas, you can take a break away from the direct sunlight even on a sunny day.

The ground is gravel, which is safe for children to play on, but it does get your shoes a little dirty.

The park of Tonogayato Garden has no playground equipment, only a sandpit.

Many pigeons were strolling around.

I visited in the summer, so there were no children playing, but it seems that children from the nearby nursery school come to play.

There were also two wooden benches where you can take a break in the shade.

Although it's a park that is not very noticeable, considering its proximity to the station, it also seemed like a good place to have a packed lunch in Kokubunji.

There is no playground equipment, but the park is relatively spacious, so it seems easy for families with children to use.

So, why not try using it as a place to rest in the Kokubunji area?
