Tokushima Central Park, Urban park with castle ruins in Tokushimachō, Japan
Tokushima Central Park is an urban park built on the grounds of the former Tokushima Castle, featuring preserved gates, traditional gardens, and walking paths. The layout combines open spaces with surviving structures from the original castle complex.
The park was established in 1906 on the former Tokushima Castle grounds, incorporating remaining feudal-period structures and gates into its design. This conversion to public green space allowed parts of the historical complex to be preserved for future generations.
The park functions as a gathering point during the annual Awa Odori Festival, where visitors witness traditional dancers moving through the surrounding streets in colorful costumes.
The park is located within 10 minutes walking distance from JR Tokushima Station, with signs guiding visitors through the city center. The flat terrain makes it easy to navigate and accessible for visitors with varying mobility needs.
The park includes a museum displaying a detailed model of the original castle complex, revealing how the fortification was arranged and organized. This model helps visitors understand the scale and layout of the historical structure that once stood there.
