Yokoamicho Park is a solemn memorial park in Sumida dedicated to the victims of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and later air raids during World War II. The park's Memorial Hall, designed by renowned architect Chuto Ito, preserves the memory of these tragic events.
What to Expect
Beyond its historical significance, Yokoamicho Park offers a peaceful setting with cherry blossom trees that create a beautiful canopy in spring. The park includes a memorial museum, a tranquil garden area, and open spaces for quiet reflection. It serves as both a place of remembrance and a community green space.
Getting There
The park is a short walk from Ryogoku Station on the JR Sobu Line or the Toei Oedo Line. From Tokyo Station, take the JR Sobu Line directly to Ryogoku in about 10 minutes.
