Rekisen Park is located right in front of the ticket gates of Korakuen Station. It's in the opposite direction of Tokyo Dome.
The area is called Koishikawa because of the many small stones in the stream formed from the surrounding highlands.
“Reki” means "small stones," and it's the origin of the name, applied to Koishikawa (Rekisen).

Rekisen Park is on a site along the slope of Kasuga Street, and it's divided into upper and lower sections by steps. This is the lower flower bed.
To the right is Korakuen Station, and to the left are LaQua, Bunkyo City Hall, and Civic Hall.
This area was once the military land of the Tokyo Army Arsenal, but after the war, it was divided into Chuo University, park land, Toei Korakuen Apartments, and a memorial hall for the war dead.

The area beyond the stairs in the back is the upper area. Chuo University is also nearby.
During the period when qualification exams are held at Chuo University, you can often see people reading reference books in this park.

There are benches for two people near the smoking area. Despite being close to large facilities, there's an environment where you can take a breather.
However, it's quite popular because of its proximity to the station, so it tends to be crowded.

There's also a symbolic three-tiered cascade waterfall in Rekisen Park. There's also space to sit and rest in front of the waterfall.
It's a place where you can feel negative ions (old school, huh?) even though it's in the city center.
It seems like it could also be used as a place to eat your lunch from Korakuen.

The flower beds were beautifully maintained. You can also enjoy viewing the flowers♪
The tower on the left is Bunkyo City Hall, and there's an observation deck where you can see the surrounding area.

There is also a space for families with a sandbox, slides, and swings. It's very popular and was bustling with many people with children.
There were benches, but I couldn't get a good photo because they were filled with people (lol)
Since it's a park near a city center station, it was generally quite crowded.
In addition, there's a tunnel (currently sealed) of the "Tokyo Army Arsenal" test firing range in the back of the upper part of the park.
Entry is prohibited, but you can go on the path nearby, so if you're curious, why not take an adventure?
So, how about using it as a resting place near Korakuen Station?
