Nobi dome Yousui Waterway

Miyoonzawa springs up in a wooded area on a steep slope along the Kurome river in the southern part of the city. It is a clear stream that has been selected by the Ministry of Environment as some of the most famous water in Japan. Miyoonzawa covers a stretch of about 100 m before it connects to and becomes part of the Kurome river. In this limited environment, you can find many rare creatures and plants that only can live in the cleanest of waters.

The 20-hectare park was established in March 1989 to ensure a comfortable living environment and to create a beautiful urban landscape on the former site of Camp Asaka, which was confiscated by the U.S. military in 1945. The park is well known as a place for sports and recreation, with a multipurpose plaza and jogging course. Furthermore, the vast park is also used as an evacuation site. Nearby are Tokyo Metropolitan Oizumi Central Park, Nerima Ward Oizumi Sakura Athletic Park, Tokyo Yono Green Belt (Nagakubo Ryokuchi), Niiza Ryokudo, and Sakae Ryokudo in Niiza City, each of which functions as a large green belt that straddles municipal and prefectural borders.
