Gongendo Park

Gongendo Park

県営権現堂公園

Saitama · Kanto

Gongendo Park is a Saitama prefectural park strung along the Gongendo embankment at Satte, an earthwork first raised in 1576 to hold back the Gongendo River. It is divided into four areas covering ball fields, a campground, a wooded rest park and the embankment walk itself. About a thousand Somei-Yoshino cherry trees line a kilometre of the embankment, and hydrangeas, sunflowers and red spider lilies follow through the rest of the year.

Why we picked it

It is at the far northern edge of Saitama, an hour from central Tokyo, and is treated as a local rather than a visitor destination outside cherry-blossom week.
