Umekōji Park, Urban park in Shimogyō-ku, Japan.
Located west of Kyoto Station, Umekōji Park spans across a large area featuring plum trees, a pond, walking paths, and sports fields.
The land was transformed into a public recreation space in April 1995, marking a shift from its previous industrial purposes near Kyoto Station.
The park integrates Japanese gardening elements with modern recreational facilities, offering spaces for local events and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the park via a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station or take city buses that stop at Nanajo Omiya near the Kyoto Aquarium.
The park houses both the Kyoto Railway Museum with 50 historic locomotives and the Kyoto Aquarium with nine specialized marine zones.
