Lush Green Park Spreading at the Ruins of Utafuki Castle

About this spot

A park at the foot of Utafuki Mountain, this historically significant location once housed the medieval castle Utafuki-jo. The park features ponds and walking paths surrounded by lush greenery, offering a peaceful place to relax. While famous as a cherry blossom spot in spring, summer also provides abundant shade—perfect for a break during your tour of the white-walled warehouses. From observation points, you can enjoy panoramic views of Kurayoshi's townscape.
