Okazaki Park

The expansive grounds of Okazaki Park feature ancient castle ruins, traditional Japanese gardens, seasonal cherry blossoms, and numerous walking paths throughout the property.

The park contains the remains of Okazaki Castle, which was the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate that ruled Japan from 1603 to 1867.

The Mikawa Warrior Museum within the park presents exhibits about samurai culture, while the Ninomaru Noh Theater hosts traditional Japanese performances throughout the year.

Located 15 minutes by foot from Higashi Okazaki Station, the park offers dedicated parking areas and maintains regular opening hours from sunrise to sunset.

A historical well marks the exact location where Tokugawa Ieyasu received his first bath as a newborn, connecting visitors to this specific moment in Japanese history.
