Tsuriyama Park

Ichinoseki flourished as a castle town with a tamura of 30,000 koku. Remnants of that tradition remain in this area, and there are monuments to many of our predecessors, including Kogoro Takahira, Junma Nomura, and Gotoku Nagata. It is a popular park for viewing cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall, and is a popular park for families to enjoy strolling around. It will be illuminated during the cherry blossom season.
