Man'yō Park

The park contains multiple waterfalls, traditional paths, and plant species native to the Nara period across its landscaped grounds.

The creation of the park stems from Yugawara's mention in the Man'yoshu, an eighth-century anthology of Japanese poetry containing over 4,500 works.

The Manyotei teahouse, constructed with traditional thatched roofing, offers visitors matcha tea ceremonies in an authentic setting.

Located at 566 Miyakami in Yugawara, the park maintains free entry and remains open throughout the day, with the teahouse operating from 10:00 to 15:00.

The park features the Monument of Doppo Kunikida, dedicated to the Meiji-era writer who documented his experiences in Yugawara through literary works.
