Fukushima Prefectural Azuma Sports Park, sports park in Fukushima, Japan

Fukushima Prefectural Azuma Sports Park is a sports park in Sawara, Fukushima, with facilities built for the 1995 National Sports Festival. It includes the prefectural gymnasium, baseball stadium, main athletics stadium (Toho Minna no Stadium), a certified auxiliary track, softball field, tennis courts, cycle sports area, and the Fukushima City Minka-en, a collection of historic farmhouses. A tan-brick gymnasium with a large arched roof faces a paved plaza.

The park was developed for the 50th National Sports Festival (Fukushima Kokutai), held in 1995, when most of its sports facilities were built. It is owned by Fukushima Prefecture and managed by the Fukushima Prefectural Urban Park and Greenery Association as designated administrator.

The park was laid out for the 50th National Sports Festival (Fukushima Kokutai) held in 1995, and many of its venues date from that preparation. Within the grounds stands the Fukushima City Minka-en, an open-air museum of relocated old farmhouses where visitors can see traditional rural buildings. The site is owned by Fukushima Prefecture and run by the Fukushima Urban Park and Greening Association.

Buses leave from stop 7 at the east exit of Fukushima Station for Sawara and Sawara-Shikinosato and take about 30 minutes; get off at Azuma Sogo Taiikukan-mae or Azuma Rikujo Kyogijo-mae. By car the park is about 20 minutes from Fukushima Station or the Tohoku Expressway's Fukushima-Nishi interchange. Nearby are Shikinosato and the Arai bypass of Route 115.

The park's grounds also hold the Fukushima City Minka-en, an open-air museum of relocated historic farmhouses. It sits among the sports facilities, so a visit can combine a stadium event with a look at the region's traditional rural architecture. The park is owned by Fukushima Prefecture and run by the Fukushima Urban Park and Greenery Association.
