東公園, Public park in Sasebo, Japan
Higashi Park stands on Tenjin Mountain, offering views across Sasebo Port and encompassing 28,000 square meters of landscaped grounds.
The park began as a naval cemetery in 1892 and was transferred to Sasebo City administration in 1959, when it received its current name.
The grounds contain over 400 individual graves, including those of composer Hozumi Tanaka and naval figures who influenced Japanese military songs.
Visitors can reach the park from JR Sasebo Station by taking the Saihi Bus to Fukuishi Elementary School Upper Stop, followed by a one-minute walk.
The park houses memorials for 176,000 Imperial Japanese Navy personnel and includes monuments to warships like Kongo, Hiryu, and Zuiho.
