Shiroyama Park is a small hill in the center of the town. It is said that the Takamizuji Castle, the residence of the Shiba clan, was built here during the medieval period, making it a site of great historical value. In spring, the park is decorated with approximately 2,000 cherry trees, so much so that the entire hill looks cherry blossom-colored when viewed from a short distance away. During the cherry blossom viewing season, the park is crowded with visitors. Visitors can freely stroll or jog in the park, and can also enjoy the campground. There is a monument to the poem by Nomura Kodo, the author of "Zenigata Heiji.
