Overview

Hakusan Park is a beautiful park in the heart of Niigata City, harmoniously blending history and nature. Established in 1873 (Meiji 6) as one of Japan's first parks, Hakusan Park is adjacent to Hakusan Shrine, Niigata's main shrine, and designed as a Dutch-style strolling garden. Within the park, you'll find "Hyotan Pond" to the east and "Hasu Pond" to the west, with "Miyoki-oka," an artificial hill built to commemorate Emperor Meiji's visit to Niigata, situated between them. From the hilltop, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Shinano River and distant mountains. A diverse array of trees graces the park, offering stunning seasonal scenery. Spring boasts a riot of cherry blossoms, wisteria, and plum blossoms, summer showcases lush greenery, autumn unveils breathtaking autumn leaves, and winter presents a beautiful snowscape. The park offers beautiful views throughout the year. Hakusan Park is not only a place to enjoy nature but also to experience history. The park preserves stone monuments of Hakusan Shrine and those related to Emperor Meiji's visit, narrating Niigata's rich past. Beloved by Niigata residents as a relaxing space, Hakusan Park offers various ways to enjoy it—strolling, jogging, picnicking, and more. We highly recommend a visit to Hakusan Park.
