Tokiwa Park
An Urban Oasis in Central Asahikawa Where Nature and Art Harmonize
Tokiwa Park, established in 1910 as the first park in Asahikawa, is a sprawling 16-hectare retreat where lush natural beauty meets artistic inspiration.
Located in the heart of Asahikawa, the park was selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Urban Parks. Its iconic landscape, filled with towering elms, Sakhalin firs, and poplar trees, captures the distinct spirit of Hokkaido's northern scenery. At the center of the park lie two serene bodies of water, Hakucho Pond and Chidori Pond. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful boat ride, feeling the cool breeze on your skin and listening to the gentle lapping of waves that calms the soul.
As you wander along the winding paths, you will encounter impressive bronze sculptures, such as "Eloquence" by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle, giving the park the feel of an open-air museum. The park also serves as a cultural hub, neighboring the Hokkaido Asahikawa Museum of Art and the Central Library. Whether you are breathing in the fresh scent of new leaves in early summer or witnessing the magical snowy transformation during the Asahikawa Winter Festival, Tokiwa Park offers a rejuvenating escape that allows you to feel the changing seasons throughout the year.
