Akinohi Park (秋の陽公園, Akinohi Kōen) (literally, Autumn Sun Park) is a public park in the Hikarigaoka region of Nerima, Tokyo, Japan.

Rice paddy in the park

Overview

The park is located in a corner of the Hikarigaoka housing complex, and is the only park with rice paddies in Nerima Ward. It was created to remind people that the area was once a place where paddy fields existed.

The paddy fields have an area of about 500 square metres, and glutinous rice is grown there. In order to have children experience rice cultivation, elementary school students in the neighborhood also participate in planting rice fields and harvesting rice.

At the entrance of the park, there is a gate that resembles that of an old farmhouse.

A flea market is also regularly held in the park.
