Beautiful, well maintained public park with a lake, winding paths, a marsh teeming with crayfish traversed with wooden bridges and some interesting historic Japanese buildings. It's wedged in between a busy road but you completely forget that a road is even nearby. Quiet and tranquil. Parking also available nearby. It would be enjoyable to take a leisurely walk when the weather is nice. You can enjoy a variety of seasonal flowers, trees and old folk houses in the garden. Take your time to explore and snap some great pictures.

We caught a bus from Machida en route to Squirrel Park(more or less opposite side of road to this Park), with two young grandsons in tow. We visited Yakushiike Park- free entry - for a picnic lunch during sakura season when families were picnicking and appreciating the blossom. As with all Japanese parks it's beautifully tended and soothing to the spirit. There's a water wheel ,and large lake-I understand there is somewhere to buy refreshments but we didn't seek it out having brought our own.
