Tokiwa Park
常磐公園
Asahikawa’s oldest city park, with Chidori Pond, cherry blossoms and autumn foliage, and an art museum and library on site. Ideal for a stroll around town.
Tokiwa Park opened in 1916 and is the park Asahikawa residents know best. It lies near the point where the Ishikari River meets the Ushibetsu River. The central Chidori Pond allows rowing, and sculptures are scattered along its banks. In early May, several hundred cherry trees bloom, and the autumn foliage is beautiful. Inside the park are the Hokkaido Asahikawa Museum of Art and the Asahikawa Central Library. Free and open all day. It is about a 20-minute walk from Asahikawa Station; continue north from the north end of Heiwa-dori Shopping Park to reach it, and you can visit Asahi Bridge nearby.
