Covering roughly 11 hectares within the park, here you can enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the mid-Edo period to the mid-Meiji period, with buildings such as historical houses and playhouses that have been rebuilt and restored to their original state.
Line of Gingko Trees
There are 116 ginkgo trees planted along the roadside from the Azuma Athletics Stadium (Toho Minna-no-Stadium) to the large carpark, covering a distance of around 520m. During the peak viewing time of late-October they are illuminated, and many people visit the park to enjoy the trees.
Scented Rose Garden
With the aim to present a rose garden filled with unique scents, and enjoy the seven distinctive fragrances associated with roses, there are currently 300 varieties and 1,700 individual rose bushes planted in the garden. From season to season, you can freely enjoy the distinct scents of the blooming roses.
