The broad green area still shows traces of the earthen fortifications, allowing you to stroll while imagining the site's former appearance. Also known as a famous cherry blossom spot, summer features lush grass and trees providing pleasant shade. A representative spot in Hokuto City where families can spend leisurely time while experiencing history.
