Mitsuike means 3 ponds in Japanese, and Mitsuike Park literally has them: Kami-pond, Naka-pond and Shimo-pond. What you should do there is Hanami (viewing cherry blossoms while drinking and eating) by the ponds. You can also enjoy strolling on the 1.4 km long course along the ponds.

The park is also known as “Forest of millions of trees” since it is surrounded by rich nature. Inside parts of the park is also the nice place for Hanami.

In early February, Kanzakura comes into bloom a little earlier than the others. The cherry blossoms in the park reach a peak between mid and late March. The dark pink cherry Yokohama-hizakura cannot be seen except there in early April. In the season, food trucks sell snacks and drinks. Let’s enjoy Hanami!!
