A piece of Karate history

This little known park is across from the famous Fukushu-en gardens. We liked it and think you will too. Stop by if: ....you are a karate history buff; you will enjoy seeing the Sensei Higaonna Kanry...

the gates are in this place.

Original Text

It is located along the road to the forest of the sea, and it is a landmark like a small castle gate. It's not that big, but there are gardens and tea rooms, and there is also a public toilet, so why not stop by when taking a restroom break.

Original Text

The surrounding cityscape has a taste that makes you feel the history, and when you enter the white-walled park, you will feel a very charming park with a strong presence of Otemon. At the entrance, there is a large stone monument that conveys the disaster situation of the Sakata Earthquake in 1897, and the Cultural Heritage Museum has a very attractive exhibition 々 every season. It's a relaxing place. Although it is a branch castle (?) of the Tsuruoka Shonai domain, it is a small castle town, and you can enjoy a relaxing walk.
