Tsutsujigaoka Park

つつじが岡公園

Gunma · Kanto

A large free park around a pond in Tatebayashi with wide paths, birdlife and water views, open at any hour. Its hillside is planted with azaleas that draw crowds and a ticketed festival for roughly three weeks from mid-April; outside that the flower hill is free and the pond side is quiet in any season.

Why we picked it

People visit only during the azalea festival and ignore the quieter park areas.
