Hinokichō Park

The park contains a central pond surrounded by zelkova trees, wisteria pergolas, and cherry trees spread across 16,369 square meters of land.

The land belonged to the Matsudaira clan during the Edo period, later became a military site, and transformed into a public park in 1963.

The name Hinokicho stems from the cypress trees that once populated the former Mouri clan residence, which influenced the area's identity.

The park features children's play equipment, including slides and swings named after Japanese deities, plus accessible facilities for visitors with disabilities.

Located atop Sanpun-zaka, one of Minato's steepest slopes, where cart pushers historically charged three extra silver coins for their services.
