Koga Sōgō Park, Urban park in Koga, Japan

The park spans across multiple zones with trails, picnic areas, and a visitors' center surrounded by 1700 peach trees of six varieties.

Established in 1975, the park earned distinction as the first Japanese park to receive the International Melina Mercouri Award from UNESCO.

From mid-March to late March, the Koga Peach Festival celebrates the blooming season with outdoor tea ceremonies and local specialty markets.

Visitors can reach the park by taking a 35-minute walk from JR Koga Station, with directional signs guiding the way through the city.

A botanist named Ichiro Oga discovered an ancient lotus seed within the park grounds, which successfully germinated and continues to grow.
