Rinshi-no-mori Park (林試の森公園, Rinshi-no-mori Kōen) is a public park that straddles the wards of Meguro and Shinagawa in Tokyo, Japan. The park's name derives from the Japanese term ringyo shikenba (林業試験場), meaning an experimental forestry station.

Overview edit

The thickest tree in the park is a zelkova with a trunk circumference of 3.82 m. The tallest tree is a poplar with a height of 35.5 m.
Blue butterflies (Antigius attilia) can be found on old Chinese cork oak trees in the park. They are rare in the wild in Tokyo.
A small valley runs from north to south in the center of the park. This is the remnant of an irrigation ditch.
In addition to a forest with large trees, there is a lawn plaza, a day camp facility, a pond for children to play in in the summer, and a ground on the west side that can be used for baseball and soccer training.
