Rinshi-no-mori Park

Rinshi-no-mori Park (林試の森公園, Rinshi-no-mori Kōen) is a public park that straddles the wards of Meguro and Shinagawa in Tokyo, Japan. The park's name derives from the Japanese term ringyo shikenba (林業試験場), meaning an experimental forestry station.

Overview

  • The thickest tree in the park is a zelkova with a trunk circumference of 3.82 m. The tallest tree is a poplar with a height of 35.5 m.
  • Blue butterflies (Antigius attilia) can be found on old Chinese cork oak trees in the park. They are rare in the wild in Tokyo.
  • A small valley runs from north to south in the center of the park. This is the remnant of an irrigation ditch.
  • In addition to a forest with large trees, there is a lawn plaza, a day camp facility, a pond for children to play in in the summer, and a ground on the west side that can be used for baseball and soccer training.
