History

Yoshikawa Park opened on March 31, 1996. The surrounding district has grown increasingly residential over the past two to three decades, and the park was laid out as a nearby green space supporting the lives of the growing population. Planting was deliberately kept minimal, giving the open design a distinctive focus on lawn and water features.
