Hongo Motomachi Koen (Motomachi Park in Hongo)
Title
Hongo Motomachi Koen (Motomachi Park in Hongo)
Description
Shin Tokyo Hyakkei
Located on a rise on the north bank of the Kanda River near SuidÅbashi Station, Motomachi Park was one of fifty-two small parks constructed after the earthquake to provide safe open spaces in the case of another disaster. The park, which remains today, was laid out symmetrically and constructed in multiple levels joined by stairways in an art deco style. Its most notable features were a cascading fountain and a pergola, visible along the right edge.
