Mimosusogawa Park, Urban park at Kanmon Strait, Shimonoseki, Japan.

Mimosusogawa Park extends along the waterfront, offering views of maritime traffic and the 1,068-meter Kanmon Bridge connecting Honshu and Kyushu islands.

The park stands at the site of the 1185 Battle of Dan-no-ura, where the Minamoto clan defeated the Heike clan in a decisive naval engagement.

Stone monuments and statues of Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Taira no Tomomori showcase the historical figures who shaped Japanese medieval warfare.

Visitors can access free Wi-Fi throughout the grounds and watch kamishibai paper theater performances between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily.

The park features a full-scale replica of a Choshu cannon that produces smoke and sound effects every hour from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
