Hirayama-jōshi Park, Castle ruins and metropolitan park in Hachioji and Hino, Japan.

The park extends over 120,000 square meters on the southeastern slope of Yazaen Ridge, featuring mixed woodlands of Japanese blue oak and konara oak trees.

The grounds once contained a watchtower for Heike general Hirayama Kiyoshi during the warring states period, with his grave located at the nearby So-in-ji Temple.

The park includes a collection of 500 cherry trees, combining Somei Yoshino and mountain cherry varieties that bloom throughout the spring season.

Visitors reach the park by taking the Keio Line to Hirayama-joshi Park station, followed by a 20-minute walk through the residential neighborhoods.

A natural pond formed by groundwater surfacing through geological layers provides a water feature within the forested grounds of the park.
