Uminonakamichi Seaside Park

The park extends across a narrow peninsula for four kilometers, featuring flower gardens, playgrounds, sports fields, a water park, and a zoo.

The location transformed from a Japanese military base to an American military installation before becoming a public park in 1972.

Throughout the year, the park displays seasonal flower arrangements including narcissus, tulips, nemophila, roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers, and cosmos.

Visitors can rent bicycles at the entrance for 500 yen per three hours to explore the extensive grounds through dedicated cycling trails.

The park contains 2000 cherry trees that create natural tunnels during spring, while the adjacent Marine World houses 120 shark species.
