Monami Park

Monami Park is an urban green space in Minami-ku with walking paths, open grassy areas, and zones for outdoor recreation. The grounds are designed to accommodate visitors looking to spend time in nature within the city.

This park was created in 1949 during Japan's post-war rebuilding period on land that had previously been mined for soft stone. The transformation from industrial use to public green space reflects how communities adapted during recovery.

The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors come together for events and community activities throughout the seasons. Visitors notice how the space brings people of different ages and backgrounds into shared outdoor moments.

The park has multiple entry points that make it easy to access from different directions. Visitors can explore the grounds freely by walking the paths or finding their own route through the open areas.

The grounds are planted with native trees and plants adapted to the local environment, creating habitat for various wildlife species. This approach to landscaping goes beyond typical urban park design.
