Tatsuno Park, Park in Tatsuno, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Tatsuno Park covers about 16 hectares on the southwest slope of Mount Keiro (218 m) and the south foot of Mount Matoba (394 m) in Tatsuno, Hyogo Prefecture. It lies within the Nishi-Harima Hills Prefectural Natural Park and holds the ruins of Tatsuno Castle, the Shuen-tei teahouse with its garden, a zoo, and the Momiji-dani valley. A 3,000-tree cherry avenue, the Bungaku no Kojichi, runs through the grounds.

Tatsuno Park was planned on 19 February 1952 and opened on 1 April 1955 on the southwestern foot of Mount Keiro (218 m) and the southern slope of Mount Matoba (394 m). In September 1986 it merged with Shirasagi-yama Park, expanding its area to about 16.0 hectares within the Nishi-Harima Kyuryo Prefectural Natural Park.

The Shuen-tei building displays traditional Japanese architectural style and once served the former domain leaders. Visitors experience the classical design elements and historical role of this structure while walking through the grounds.

The park has pathways suited for different mobility levels and provides restrooms and directional signs throughout. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing seasons, as the park remains open year-round.

The 3,000 cherry trees lining the Bungaku no Komichi path make the park a well-known hanami spot in spring; the same path connects to the Kinki Nature Trail at Ryōmizaka.
