Scenic walk through greenery in the spacious park at Furukawa Castle ruins, a warm-up for the day

About this spot

A spacious park developed around the outer perimeter of Furukawa Castle where you can enjoy the natural beauty of each season—a recreation spot representing Furukawa City. The grounds feature grassy lawns, walking paths, and tree-lined avenues known as a cherry blossom viewing spot, and simply strolling through brings peace of mind. There is also a Japanese garden utilizing the ruins of a castle outpost, creating a space where history and nature naturally blend together. On the day of the fireworks festival, there are still few people during the daytime, making this a precious time to spend leisurely in cool shade. As a warm-up for afternoon sightseeing, feel free to walk at your family's own pace.
