Bizan Park, Scenic park on Mount Bizan, Tokushima, Japan.
Bizan Park sits atop a mountain and offers wide views of the city and sea below. The grounds are organized with walking paths, viewing areas, and sections devoted to observing plants and wildlife throughout the year.
After World War II, the mountain was transformed in the 1950s into a public recreation space. This change made it accessible to everyone and created a gathering place for the community.
The mountain holds importance in local poetry traditions and remains deeply connected to the region's sense of place. This connection becomes apparent as visitors move through the grounds and observe how the landscape continues to inspire those who live nearby.
The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon when views are clearest and crowds are smaller. Wear good shoes because paths can be uneven, especially between different areas of the grounds.
A large section of the park is devoted to observing flowering trees and birds, with hundreds of trees that change color with each season. This zone regularly draws photographers and nature watchers who want to document different blooming phases.
