Kasai Rinkai Park (葛西臨海公園 Kasai Rinkai Kōen), which officially opened on June 1st, 1989, is in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan. The park includes an aquarium and a bird sanctuary, and was built on reclaimed land that includes two manmade islands, a viewing tower and a hotel.

There is a Ferris wheel (opened in 2001) which, on a clear day, affords those willing to part with 700 yen (current as of 2005) a breathtaking view of Tokyo Bay, Chiba, Edogawa and Tokyo Disneyland - and even Mt Fuji.

The park is always crowded during the 'hanami' period of spring, when the Japanese party under cherry trees in bloom.
