Ijimino Park

Ijimino Park is an urban park in Shibata featuring an extensive network of walking paths and open recreational areas, including a Green Stadium for sports activities and community events. The grounds provide different zones for walking, gathering, and outdoor activities throughout the year.

The park was established as part of Shibata's urban development and was later recognized as one of the 100 best urban parks in Japan. This distinction reflects its importance in the country's park system.

The Iris Festival in late June draws locals and visitors who sample regional foods like poppo-yaki bread at market stalls throughout the grounds. The blooming flowers and festival mood shape how people experience and use this space during that season.

The park is located about a 10-minute walk from Shibata Station and has plenty of parking available for visitors arriving by car. Entry is free and the grounds are accessible year-round, making it easy to visit whenever suits your schedule.

The park houses an exceptional collection of iris plants in multiple varieties that color the landscape during blooming season. As evening falls, these flower fields are lit up with special lighting, creating a distinctive nighttime display.
