Kinugasayama Park

Kinugasayama Park is a green space located on a mountainside in Yokosuka with various areas designed for recreation and nature experiences. The grounds include hiking paths through wooded sections, open areas for relaxation, and zones dedicated to observing water features and local wildlife.

The park was founded in the early 20th century and incorporates the former site of a medieval castle. This layering of different time periods shapes the historical character of the location.

The park serves as a gathering place during spring celebrations when visitors come to enjoy the blooming trees together. Local families use these occasions to share traditions and connect with their community.

The park is accessible on foot from nearby train stations and is therefore easy to reach. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds have paths and slopes that require walking to explore.

The park is divided into several distinct zones with specialized names, each offering a different experience. These separate areas were designed to appeal to visitors with varying interests and age groups.
