Senshū Park, Urban park in Akita, Japan.
Located at the former site of Kubota Castle, Senshu Park features stone walls, moats, reconstructed castle structures, and extensive walking paths across multiple levels.
The park grounds contain the remains of Kubota Castle, constructed in 1602 by Lord Satake Yoshinobu after his transfer from Hitachi Province to Akita Domain.
Designated as one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom locations, the park hosts spring viewing celebrations when hundreds of cherry trees bloom along its pathways.
The park maintains free entry throughout the day and offers convenient access from Akita Station, with a 10-minute walk to the main entrance.
The park features a traditional tea room with a rare boat-shaped water basin, reportedly brought from Korea during the 1592 invasion by samurai Kato Kiyomasa.
