Shōwa Kinen Park in Tachikawa is a huge national park on Tokyo's western edge, with wide lawns, cycle paths, a Japanese garden and seasonal flower fields — tulips in spring, blue nemophila and, most famously, sweeping cosmos and golden ginkgo in autumn. Rent a bike to cover the grounds. A genuine, spacious escape from the city.
