Rojō Park

Rojō Park is an urban park built on the site of Komatsu Castle, combining historical ruins with recreational space. The grounds feature a central pond, walking paths, cherry blossom trees, and traditional garden designs distributed across several hectares.

The site originated as Komatsu Castle, constructed in the early 1600s during Japan's feudal period. Remnants of stone walls and castle foundations still remain visible throughout the grounds, serving as physical traces of the fortress that once stood here.

The space serves as a gathering place where local residents spend time walking and meeting with friends throughout the year. Spring brings crowds beneath the flowering trees, who celebrate the season in a way that connects them to generations of people who did the same in this location.

Restrooms and benches are available throughout the park, making it easy to spend time at a comfortable pace. Main entrances are accessible from central Komatsu and the grounds remain open for visitors year-round.

The park's elevated position gives visitors views of surrounding mountains from different spots throughout the grounds. This hilltop setting creates a vantage point where the broader landscape becomes visible in a way that changes how the place feels.
