Enjoy Wakuya's history and town views from Shiroyama Park

About this spot

This was the location of the Wakuya Date clan's castle during the Edo period, now developed as Shiroyama Park. From the archive building designed to resemble a castle structure, you can view the Wakuya townscape and enjoy the scenery while learning about the region's history. The park grounds are lush with greenery and plenty of shade, making it relatively cool even on hot summer days. Start your day by experiencing how Wakuya developed as a town.
