The park is built entirely on reclaimed land, a common method for expanding Tokyo's functional harbor space.
It is situated directly beneath the approach path for Runway C of Haneda Airport (HND).
The park's man-made beach is designed for coastal observation and relaxation rather than recreational swimming.
It functions as a disaster prevention base, equipped with infrastructure for emergency logistics in the event of a major earthquake.
The park is divided into distinct zones, separating active recreation areas from the tranquil, nature-focused northern sections.
Jonanjima Seaside Park is a reclaimed land facility in Tokyo Bay uniquely positioned directly under the flight paths of Haneda Airport. The park provides unobstructed views of commercial aircraft landing and taking off, making it a primary destination for aviation enthusiasts. The coastline features a man-made beach that allows visitors to walk along the water, though swimming is strictly prohibited for safety and water quality reasons. The park is equipped with dedicated outdoor barbecue sites, tent-pitching areas, and a grassy lawn. Industrial landscapes and container ships in the adjacent Keihin Canal characterize the surrounding harbor environment. It serves as an open-air site where the combination of sea breezes and heavy aircraft noise creates a distinctively urban industrial atmosphere.

Bring a portable radio or use a flight-tracking app to monitor incoming planes.
Check wind direction in advance, as aircraft landing patterns shift based on weather conditions.
Wear wind-resistant clothing, as the open waterfront location can be significantly gustier than central Tokyo.
Do not attempt to swim in the bay, as the water currents and industrial traffic pose significant hazards. Avoid visiting during heavy rain or typhoons when the park may restrict access to the shoreline.
The park is generally open year-round, but specific facilities like the barbecue area may be closed during severe weather or for routine maintenance.
Swimming is strictly forbidden in the ocean. Barbecue and camping areas require pre-booking through the official park administration.
