Sakura Space Park (Takahagi City Satellite Communication Memorial Park)

Overview

Sakura Space Park in Takahagi commemorates Japan's first television satellite relay reception site. Visit in spring to stroll along the 300-meter cherry blossom avenue and admire the massive parabolic antenna visible through the trees. While the original KDD satellite communication antennas are gone, a monument remains, and a large radio telescope antenna used by the National Astronomical Observatory is located nearby. The park offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. It is easily accessible by bus from JR Takahagi Station or by car from the Joban Expressway Takahagi IC. A perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon surrounded by nature and a touch of space history.
