Tennōgawa Park, Public park in Tsushima, Japan
Tennōgawa Park is an urban park in Tsushima, Japan, with wisteria trellises that bloom with purple flowers in spring. The space includes a central pond with water lilies and an island linked by red bridges.
The park was built on the site of a former river that flowed through central Tsushima during the Edo period and served as a key trading route. Converting the old riverbed into a modern park preserves this connection to the city's past.
The festival held here each year ranks among Japan's three major river festivals. Visitors see traditional puppet performances on boats and watch hundreds of lanterns light up the water in the evening.
The park lies about 1.3 kilometers from Tsushima Station and offers free access. Parking is available and walking paths are easy to navigate.
The park uses a color palette rooted in traditional Japanese design, especially the red wooden bridges that echo classical garden aesthetics. This creates an old-world feel despite being a modern creation.
