Irifuneyama Park

Irifuneyama Park is an urban space in Kure featuring multiple walking paths, garden areas, and recreational zones spread across its grounds. Views of the surrounding Hiroshima Prefecture landscape are visible from various points throughout the park.

The park developed from Kure's maritime past when the city served as an important port. The Irifuneyama Memorial Hall documents this history through exhibits and artifacts from that era.

A stone monument in the park displays a haiku by poet Masaoka Shiki that invites reflection. The adjacent municipal art museum showcases rotating exhibitions in its brick building.

The area is easy to reach on foot, roughly a 15-minute walk from Kure Station. A parking lot with about 120 spaces is available if you arrive by car.

The Museum Street section earned recognition as one of Japan's best roads. The red brick pathways and sculptures here create an distinctive art promenade.
