08Apr2017. This is a long (by walking standards) park along the river bank. Unlike Ueno park which has smaller areas of sakura, in Gongendo Park I walk under the sakura along the full length of the park. For me, this is the best place to view sakura. This park is not as crowded as Ueno park during the sakura season (I guess because it is more remote). However, I was going by train so I took the train to the nearest train station, which was the [Minami-Kurihashi Station] station. Then I walked about half an hour (about 2 and a half KM) from the train station to the Northern end of Gongendo Park. The walk from the station to the park was also quite pleasant, passing by the country side houses & farms. FrancisTLim.

With its roots allegedly traced back in 1234 allegedly, Kannon Reijo, which means “hallow ground of Diety of Mercy” that always evokes the ambience of past time and is spread in Chichibu City, Yokoze Machi, Ogano Machi, and Minano Machi. Since the 17th century, the faith in Kannon has become the emotional bridge to most Japanese when people used to pilgrim to Chichibu Fudasho to enjoy the journey, both physically and emotionally. We hope you to visit Chichibu Fudasho with no pressure, just like how the people of the time enjoyed it.
