Expo Commemorative Park

Unclaimed

I do not understand the hype with the ugly statue right in front of the entrance. I only enjoyed it being used for the light up show from evening time onwards. I especially enjoyed its picturesque park because its ground was expansive, it has clean fresh air AND beautiful flowers to admire. There were just so many beautiful flowers around that I could not stop taking photographs. When you are here, you must definitely visit the Japanese Garden because it is so beautiful and I could spend the whole day just sitting there admiring the scenery. This is the perfect place to just unwind, relax and get away from the madding city crowd, and the entrance fee is so cheap. I actually came here twice, but it's still not enough for me. I paid money to go to the Folk Craft Museum, but I think it's a complete waste of my money because it's so boring. I should have used the rest of my time to explore the rest of the park instead.

One of the best arboretum style green spaces I've ever seen. It has an excellent showa era style aesthetic that I personally love! Plus there is plenty of area to cover if you just want a lovely walk outside the way I did! Not to mention the excellent Tower of the Sun! Seeing that in person was a real treat!

A huge park with lots of flowers! We came spontaneously and realised their Ume Matsuri (plum blossom festival) was happening. We didn't realise that their food stalls were only open on the weekends so we missed out. We still had a lovely time walking around enjoying the scenery despite it being early March. Definitely recommend to plan ahead and check to see if they have any events happening before going.

Full blossoms on a sunny sunday is so crowded but atmosphere is really good. The park is big enough so there are many places to take good pictures. The places to go to are 花の丘 at 自然文化園 and 東大路. The entrance fee is yen260 which is very reasonable.

This place was amazing! Super lively and busy but not in a chaotic way. We accidentally went on the same day/weekend as 'Gabu Gabu Festival' but it was still great. A lot of the remnants of the Expo 70 were amazing to see in person and obviously the Tower of the Sun too. Such a magnificent piece!
