Koganei Park, in Tokyo’s western suburbs, is the city’s second largest park. This park is a special treat in the spring, plum trees blossoming in March and a festival in early April celebrating the park’s 2,000 cherry trees. There are lovely tree-lined paths, fields, a number of other sports facilities in the park as well, including tennis courts,a small cycling course, and the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum.
For runners, there are several marked loops, with one at just over 5k being the longest. The Koganei Running Club site has good information on the park & group running events. They also have maps of 1k & 5k loops, and the Tamako Cycling Road, which can be run up to 10 km to Tama Lake.
Add-On: The 26 km Tamagawa Josui canal trail is just south of Koganei Park. It runs for 10 km west and 15 km east of Koganei Park. A good destination is 5 km east to Inokashira Park, for a nice loop of the two parks.
