Showa Memorial Park
Showa Commemorative National Government Park (国営昭和記念公園, Kokuei Shōwa Kinen Kōen) is a national government park in Akishima and Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan. It charges an entrance fee.
It was established in 1983 as part of a project to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the Shōwa emperor.
Bicycles may be rented in the park, which has an 11 kilometer bike trail with parking areas at all locations. There is also an outdoor barbecue area.
In December the park has an illumination that features Christmas lighting.
The park can be best accessed from Nishi-Tachikawa Station on the JR Ome line or a 15- to 20-minute walk from JR's Tachikawa Station or Seibu's Musashi-Sunagawa Station.
The music video for dj TAKA's and Kanako Hoshino's song "DROP" was filmed here. The song was featured in the arcade version of Dance Dance Revolution X2 as well as Beatmania IIDX 17: Sirius. The location also plays a major role in the visual novel Kanon, since one of the main characters, Shiori, likes to hang out by the fountain in the eastern part of the park.
