Kasai Rinkai Park (葛西臨海公園 Kasai Rinkai Kōen) is a park in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan, which officially opened on June 1, 1989. The park includes a bird sanctuary and the Tokyo Sea Life Park aquarium. It was built on reclaimed land which includes two manmade islands, a viewing tower and a hotel. It is the second-largest park in the 23 wards of Tokyo (after Mizumoto Park).
The 117-metre (384 ft) tall Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel opened at the park in 2001. On a clear day, it affords views of Tokyo Bay, Chiba, Edogawa, Tokyo Disneyland, and Mount Fuji. It is reportedly the second tallest ferris wheel in Japan.
About a third of the park is designated a sea bird sanctuary, which houses a Sea Bird Centre that provides information on the local bird species.[4] The park also has two beaches on artificial islands. The west island is connected to land by the Kasai Nagisa bridge and is a popular place for recreation.[2] The east island is closed to the public as a protected bird habitat and Ramsar site since 2018.
The park is always crowded during the 'hanami' period of spring, when the Japanese party under cherry trees in bloom.
