Morning Walk at Takaoka Old Castle Park
Toyama
2hours
Visit this 21-hectare park, beloved by locals! It’s famous for its stunning cherry blossoms in spring and beautiful autumn leaves. Spanning an area equivalent to about 30 soccer fields, the park is full of countless hidden charms. I will guide you through its highlights, including Japanese gardens, a city-operated zoo, sculptures, and the remains of old stone walls. As we walk through the park, I’ll also share insights into everyday life in Takaoka.
Highlights
・A nice view from the park’s hilltop ・Lovely seasonal flowers and trees to discover

"I've been working as a tour guide in Takaoka Kojo Park (the old castle park) since 2022. Some of my guests have mentioned that they like the peaceful atmosphere and quiet charm of Takaoka. I'm a morning person, so if you are too, how about taking a relaxed morning walk together?"
