Shimizu Park

The expansive park contains numerous walking trails, ponds, and specialized areas filled with native Japanese plants and diverse botanical collections throughout its grounds.

Established in 1894 during the Meiji period, Shimizu Park emerged as one of the first public recreational spaces dedicated to botanical education in the region.

During spring, the park transforms into a central location for hanami celebrations, where people gather under cherry trees following centuries-old Japanese traditions.

The park provides designated picnic zones, rest areas, and maintained pathways that accommodate visitors throughout all four seasons of the year.

The grounds earned recognition as part of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots due to its collection of cherry trees creating pink canopies in April.
