Jingu Higashi Park, Public park in Nagoya, Japan
Jingu Higashi Park is a long, narrow municipal park in Atsuta Ward, Nagoya, opened in 1985 on the former factory grounds of Nippon Sharyo and Toyo Plywood. Its grounds run roughly 100 to 150 metres east to west and about 600 metres north to south, split by the Midonocho city road and reconnected by the Mihonmatsu footbridge. The south garden holds a fountain, a plaza and children's play equipment; the north garden has lawns, a water channel, a pond, an iris garden and tennis courts, with the Nagoya City Gymnasium and Atsuta Pool in one corner.
In 1968, a group of Nagoya business leaders founded Atsuta Jingu Gaien Land Development to build a UHF-era TV tower and sports facilities on about 330,000 square metres of former Nippon Sharyo and Toyo Plywood factory land. The company dissolved in 1975, the park was planned in 1979 and opened on 1 April 1985. Rokuno Park was abolished and merged into it in 1991.
The park's name comes from its position east of Atsuta Shrine, whose outer garden redevelopment company was founded in 1968 by Nagoya business leaders. The site occupies former factory land of Nippon Sharyo and Toyo Plywood. The north garden holds an iris garden, pond and water channel, while the south garden has a fountain and playground equipment.
The park is a narrow strip about 100–150 m east–west and roughly 600 m north–south, split by the Midota-cho city road but reconnected by the Mihonmatsu pedestrian bridge. The south garden holds the fountain, plaza and playground, while the north garden has lawns, a waterway, pond, iris garden and tennis courts, plus the Nagoya City Gymnasium and Atsuta Pool. Meitetsu Jingumae Station is about a 4-minute walk from the south garden.
