Iwaki Park, Urban park in Iwaki New Town, Japan.
Iwaki Park is an urban green space in Iwaki New Town with around 200 cherry trees of different varieties planted in landscaped sections. The park features walking paths and designated areas for recreation and outdoor activities.
The park was created as part of the planning and development of Iwaki New Town to serve the emerging residential district. Its establishment was a key part of shaping the urban landscape of the new community.
The park becomes a gathering place each spring when residents come together under the blooming cherry trees to celebrate the season. This shared experience has made it a central point in the community's annual rhythm.
The park is accessible by public bus or car, with convenient links to local train stations. The best time to visit is spring when the trees are in bloom and the park is most active with visitors.
A viewing tower located within the park provides views of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal landscape, especially striking during spring when the cherry trees bloom. From this vantage point visitors can experience both ocean and flowering trees together.
