Yuho Park

Yuho Park is a public green space in Oita featuring walking paths, a pond, and numerous sculptures distributed throughout the grounds. The park provides visitors with distinct areas for strolling and rest with ample landscaping.

The municipal government of Oita established the park on March 31, 1951, to create a central recreational area for the growing population. Its creation reflects Japan's post-war focus on developing public green spaces in urban centers.

Several sculptures stand throughout the grounds, including monuments honoring Rentarou Taki, a significant figure in Japanese musical composition. These artworks blend with the green surroundings, creating spaces where visitors can encounter the area's creative heritage.

The park is open year-round with public restrooms, seating, information boards, and parking available for visitors. The grounds are easy to navigate on foot and provide ample places to sit and stay for extended visits.

Local families regularly feed ducks and other bird species at the pond, particularly as different birds arrive with each season. This everyday activity makes visiting with children a natural experience that extends beyond simple strolling.
