Kanegasaki Ryokuchi Park

Kanegasaki Ryokuchi Park is a seaside park in Tsuruga with pathways and green spaces running along the harbor. The grounds combine open lawns with waterfront promenades and several buildings, including a converted railway station structure.

The park was developed to preserve the history of Tsuruga Port and its importance during the postwar period. A museum on the grounds documents the stories of refugees who found shelter at the port during World War II.

The former railway station building now houses a museum displaying how transportation shaped the region's development. Visitors can observe exhibits showing the role trains played in connecting Tsuruga to wider Japan.

The park is free to enter and offers parking for vehicles of various sizes throughout the grounds. Visitors will find pathways that are easy to walk and provide access to different areas.

The park has been recognized as one of the 100 Best Historical Parks in Japan, blending maritime heritage with natural surroundings. This recognition reflects its importance to the region's cultural legacy.
