In southwestern Tokyo, Denenchofu in Ota Ward is generally perceived as an upper-class neighborhood. Yet, in the Edo period, it was home to the Uenumabe and Shimonumabe villages that lived on wheat and rice production. A few farmlands can still be seen today.
Just next to Tamagawa station along the Tokyu-Toyoko line is Denenchofu Seseragi Park, a sprawling, multileveled forested land landscaped with abundant trees, floral blooms, a small waterfall and two large ponds connected to hot springs.
Denenchofu Seseragi Park
As the Kokubunji cliff sits along the Tamagawa river, the park is perched on the river terrains stretching over 30 kilometers, offering different angles of the picturesque grounds. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and gorgeous maple leaves in autumn. Climbing up and down the stone steps leads you to a rich oasis where you can find a wooden hut by the pond and creek. Another wooden gazebo is installed on the eastern side, encircled by tall trees, bushes and seasonal flowers. A multipurpose square by the east gate is where children can be seen cycling, skateboarding and playing. Sometimes, the park hosts outdoor exhibitions.
