Yakushi-ike West Garden

The 1,770 square meter observation plaza and the 1,840 square meter lawn park arranged with semicircular benches, both surrounded by a vast thicket in the back, are ideal for holding open-air events with a sense of freedom that only the outdoors can provide. The West Garden serves as a hub for Machida City’s tourist attractions including the Squirrel Garden, Peony Garden, Dahlia Garden and Yakushi-ike Park, which was selected as one of the 100 Best Historical Parks in Japan. The park also has a hands-on workshop and a restaurant that serves meals made from local agricultural products, so anyone can relish nature at its best while enjoying a variety of unique experiences, right here in Tokyo.
