What was formerly a forest nursery and research station, Rinshi No Mori Park boasts a handsome crop of trees. The shade provided by the trees makes the park a welcome place during Tokyo’s humid summer. With hundred-year-old trees, the park is lush, cool, and quiet. There is also a splashing pond to cool off in. Mosquito repellent is useful, particularly around dusk.
