A Hillside Park Overlooking Ichinoseki City

Tsuriyama Park is a nice hillside park located in Ichinoseki City. The park is one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing spots in the city and features long pathways that are lined with cherry blossom trees. There are numerous large open grass spaces located inside the park, as well as many bench tables with impressive views over Ichinoseki. The park also features a Japanese garden, small shrine and children's playground. There are also toilets and drinking fountains located in the park. I recommend packing your lunch before heading to the park as there are no nearby supermarkets. The park is open everyday, and is located a five minute walk from Ichinoseki Station.

A little while ago i began exploring the world. I started in Japan, and after 29 countries of amazing adventures, i find myself back in Japan fully absorbed in its culture, its people and its beauty.
