Miharashi Park

Miharashi Park extends over 460,000 square meters, incorporating traditional Japanese garden design with streams, waterfalls, and carefully arranged plant species.

The site originated as a private vacation residence for a merchant during the Meiji period before opening to the public around 1930.

The garden received its name Kosetsuen from a Jodo Sect priest of Kyoto's Chion-in Temple, meaning garden fragrant with plum in snow.

Visitors can reach the park by taking bus line 82 from Hakodate Station to Kosetsuen stop, with a journey time of 40 minutes.

In 2001, the garden became the only national cultural property garden in Hokkaido, reflecting its exceptional design and historical value.
