This was the place where Hatchobori was located in the Edo period, and was called Sakuragawa in the Meiji era, and was reclaimed in the 1940s and became the current park.

Cherry trees (Yoshino cherry tree) are planted and shaded, making it an urban oasis in the office district.

Many office workers and passers-by are resting in the shade of the park, especially during the hot lunch break.
