The area now known as Takiyama Park was once the official castle grounds of a great ruler in the Meiji Period. At this time the castle called Takiyama Castle was contructed and great gardens were created to surround it.
Takiyama Castle was abandoned in the early 1900’s but then were almost completely destroyed in the war. Burned beyond recognition the remains were left alone until the late 1960’s. In the 1960’s the remains were cleaned up and the park was officially opened to the public as Takiyama Park.
Takiyama Park is accessible using the JR Chuo Line traveling to Hachioji Station. Once reaching the station you take the Nishi-tokyo Bus to Takiyama-jyosi sita Bus Stop. The bus stop is located 15 minutes walking distance from the park.
