Overview

Science Expo Memorial Park was created on the site of Block D, the main venue of the 1985 International Science and Technology Exposition (Tsukuba Expo). The "Gate of Science," a remnant from that era, is a 10-meter-high gate featuring a seemingly simple hanging sphere. However, from different angles, the faces of four historically significant scientists magically appear. The park boasts a vast lawn, ponds, iris gardens, and tennis courts, attracting families and young people alike. It's bustling with cherry blossom viewers in spring and vibrant with autumn foliage. In addition to vestiges of the Expo, the park offers abundant natural beauty. Observe waterfowl like ducks and geese on the ponds, and enjoy the seasonal wildflowers along the walking paths. There are also barbecue areas and playgrounds for children. Science Expo Memorial Park is a captivating park where you can immerse yourself in nature and history. Be sure to visit!
