Mekari Park, Urban park in Moji-ku, Japan
Mekari Park stretches along the waterfront with saltwater pools and a viewing platform overlooking the Kanmon Straits and Mount Kojō. The space combines water features and open areas connected by walking paths.
The park was created as part of the Setonaikai National Park, reflecting the region's commitment to protecting natural landscapes. Its development shows how the area worked to preserve public green spaces along this coast.
The park features one of Japan's largest Arita-ware porcelain mosaics depicting a medieval battle between two powerful clans. This artwork tells a story from Japan's past and connects traditional craftsmanship to the seaside setting.
The park offers many walking paths and recreational areas, though direct public transportation and parking are limited. Come early and wear comfortable walking shoes to explore the different sections at your own pace.
The viewing platform offers clear views of the Kanmonkyo Bridge lighting and the historic Mojiko Retro district beyond. At night, this view becomes something special that many visitors miss.
