Time Out says

The central part of this vast park in western Tokyo is best explored by bicycle. There are about 120 bikes available for pre-schoolers and their parents to hire within the park (¥100-¥200 per hour), and when your child tires of pedalling, you can reward their hard work with a spot of sledging. There's a 17° artificial, turf-covered slope built into one of the park’s grassy knolls, and it's wide enough for at least a dozen sledges to race down at the same time. You can buy a sledge or borrow one of the park’s by queuing at the bottom of the slope. The park also houses the open-air branch of the Edo-Tokyo Museum.

What’s on

Koganei Cherry Blossom Festival

If you want to enjoy cherry blossoms without the crowds, head out to Koganei Park in western Tokyo. Celebrating its 72nd cherry blossom festival this year, this suburban park is known for its spring festivities featuring musical performances, 30 food trucks, special stage shows and a host of fun activities. Don't miss the cherry blossom illumination happening for only one day, on March 28 (weather permitting). The main events are scheduled over the March 28-29 weekend at the Tatemonoen-mae square, but the park is still worth visiting outside these dates, as the spacious park offers a lot of opportunities to picnic under blooming sakura.
