This is a first park in Japan that is specified in 1873. At the time, there is not much places for Hanami(seeing Sakura trees and have a little party) so many cherry blossom trees are planted for people to enjoy seeing Sakura on spring. You can walk through between the beautiful cherry blossoms which is meaningful like that.

It is a museum of houses and exhibits materials related to Eiichi Shibusawa, a businessman who was said to be the "father of Japanese capitalism". He had his main residence in Asukayama. It's been talked about since last year as a person who is scheduled to become a portrait of a new banknote of 10,000 yen in 2024.
