維新百年紀念公園, Memorial park in Yamaguchi, Japan.
The Ishin Memorial Park is a large sports complex in Yamaguchi featuring multiple athletic facilities and a major performance venue. The site includes a main stadium, auxiliary sports fields for different sports, and a large outdoor stage for events.
The park opened in 1973 to commemorate the centennial of the Meiji Restoration, though its main stadium had been built earlier in 1963 for a national sports event. This makes it an important sports venue with roots in mid-20th century Japanese athletic history.
The Big Shell outdoor venue hosts regular performances and cultural events throughout the year for residents. It serves as a gathering place where theater productions and concerts bring the community together.
The park sits just 10 minutes on foot from Yahara Station, making it easy to reach by public transit. Multiple sports fields, a cultural center, and a children's area are spread across the grounds for easy navigation.
The park's name became the official address designation when the area adopted a new addressing system in 2008. The surrounding neighborhood has been officially called Ishin Park since then.
