Ota Ward’s Kamata neighborhood is full of excitement, but when you need a break, Nishikamata Park is here for relaxation. Located near the edge of Kamata’s shopping district, the area is a slice of nature in the busy streets of the neighborhood. Stop here to see cherry blossoms during the blooming season in the spring or come at any time of year to have a picnic, play in the playground or just relax on the benches as locals walk past on their way to and from their errands.
Shop in Kamata’s stores and restaurants. Stop at one of the neighborhood’s famous restaurants for picnic food to bring to the park. Supplied with mochi, fried chicken or whatever the current food trend is, head to Nishikamata Park to enjoy your feast. Perch on the benches or spread out a blanket on the well-maintained grass. Let kids run free to play on the equipment nearby as you lie back on the grass to appreciate the relative serenity. Notice several whimsical bronze sculptures of children in the park.
Get some fashion ideas as you watch people coming here to eat lunch. Plan the day’s activities, many of which are easily accessible from nearby Kamata Station. Bring a book and sit beneath the trees, listening to the wind in the leaves.
