Tsuruoka Park is a park maintained on the site of Tsuruoka Castle, which was the residence of the Sakai clan, the lord of the Shonai domain.
Tsuruoka Park is a large park located next to Tsuruoka City Hall in the center of Tsuruoka City, and covers an area of 12.8 hectares. There are also remnants of the old castle, and you can see the remnants of those days such as moats and stone walls. There are several cultural facilities in the park, such as the Shonai Shrine, the Fujisawa Shuhei Memorial Hall, and the Taihokan, so you can enjoy not only rest and playgrounds. Tsuruoka Park is also known as a famous place for cherry blossoms, and has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan". Therefore, it is also a place that is crowded with many cherry blossom viewing visitors in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. Because the park was built on the site of Tsuruoka Castle in this way, you can enjoy the scenery and culture everywhere, so it is also a place where you can enjoy just walking around.
