Inokashira Park is located to the west from downtown Tokyo, near Kichijyoji Station. 
The park is surrounded by a residential area. The area of Inokashira Park is 42.8 hectares. 
Large amount of spring water creates a pond in the middle of the park. 
The park has been the important water source even since the Jyomon Age (14,000 years ago - 300 to 500 years B.C.) .

You will be able to go to "Inokashira Park" from Inokashira-Koen Station on the Inokashira Line, Keio Railway. 
You will walk to "Inokashira Park" along the Kanda River.



The atmosphere of the Kanda River seems as if you are in forests in a mountain area. 

 

 


You will see Inokashira Pond



The pond is located in forests and it has a slender shape to an east-west direction.
The pond is surrounded by forests. These forests were protected by Edo Bakufu during the Edo Age, and in the Meiji Age by the Empire of Japan.

The pond in Inokashira Park was very important water source for the people in Edo during the Edo Age (1603 - 1868) .

 


At the west end of Inokashira Pond, Benzaiten Temple, "Saraswati", is located. 
Benzaiten Temple was founded in the middle of the tenth century by MINAMOTO-No Tsunemoto (? - 961?).



MINAMOTO-No Yoritomo (1147 - 1199), who was the first "Shogun" in the Kamakura Age (1185 - 1333), built temple buildings. These temple buildings were destroyed by fire at the Genko War (1331 - 1333).



In 1636, TOKUGAWA Iemitsu (1604 - 1651), the "Third Shogun" in the Edo Age, rebuilt the temple buildings.
