Yoshika Park-Yokokawa Hiroie Park

#7月好去地方2025 Yoshika Park is one of the representative attractions in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It was originally the residence of the Yoshikawa family, the lord of the Iwakuni Domain. Now it has been renovated into an open park with lush greenery. It has beautiful scenery in all seasons. Together with the Kintai Bridge and Iwakuni Castle next to it, it constitutes the three classic highlights of Iwakuni tourism. In the center of the park, a bronze statue of Yoshikawa Hiroie, wearing armor and with a resolute expression, is particularly eye-catching. Yoshikawa Hiroie is the son of Yoshikawa Motoharu and the first lord of Iwakuni Domain. In the early Edo period, he chose to assist Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Battle of Sekigahara, and was eventually granted the land of Iwakuni, laying the foundation for the Yoshikawa family and bringing long-term stability and development to the local area. Yoshika Park has gardens, museums, cultural facilities and ancient architectural ruins. It is particularly spectacular when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring. It is a good place to take a walk and enjoy the scenery and learn about the history and culture of Iwakuni. After walking across the Kintai Bridge, you may wish to walk into this park to pay tribute to this general who created history for Iwakuni. 📍Address: Yokoyama 2-chome, Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture 🚶Transportation: About 5 minutes walk from Kintai Bridge 🕰️Opening hours: Open all year round, free to visit 💰Visiting fee: Free (some areas such as museums require additional tickets) #Yoshika Park #Yoshikawa Hiroie #Iwakuni Domain #Kintai Bridge #Iwakuni Castle #Yamaguchi Attractions #Historical Figures #Japanese Garden
