Nihon Heso Park, Urban park in Nishiwaki, Japan.

The Nihon Heso Park encompasses green spaces, walking paths, and picnic areas at the intersection of 135 degrees east longitude and 35 degrees north latitude.

The park opened in January 1983 with a stone pillar marking the Taisho survey site and later received an additional monument at the Heisei survey location.

The name 'Heso' means navel in Japanese, representing the geographical center of Japan and its significance in the national identity of the country.

Visitors can reach the park by taking a short walk from Nihon Heso Koen Station on the JR Kakogawa Line or use the available parking facilities.

Two distinct survey markers within the park demonstrate the precise geographical measurements conducted during different Japanese imperial periods.
