Hitsuzan Park

Hitsuzan Park is an urban park on a natural elevation in Kōchi with paved pathways, viewpoints, and numerous cherry blossom trees throughout its grounds. The park features multiple areas for exploration with platforms that overlook the surrounding city.

The park has served as a central gathering space for residents of Kōchi Prefecture for several decades. This long tradition has established it as a recreational and community hub for the area.

The park serves as a gathering place for local festivals throughout the year that reflect regional traditions and bring the community together. Visitors can observe how residents use this space for celebrations and shared occasions.

The park is accessible 24 hours daily with two designated parking areas, though roads become congested during peak cherry blossom season. Arriving early or visiting on quieter days ensures a more comfortable experience.

From the park's observation deck, visitors can view the entire city of Kōchi while surrounded by a dense urban forest of native Japanese trees. This combination of expansive city views and natural surroundings creates an unexpected contrast within the urban landscape.
