Overview

Numazu Goyotei Memorial Park traces its origins back to 1893 (Meiji 26), when a Goyotei was built within Shimagō Imperial Forest in Yōhara Village, Suntō District, Shizuoka Prefecture (present-day Numazu City), to serve as a resting place for the then-Crown Prince, Emperor Taisho. In 1969 (Showa 44), the Goyotei was decommissioned and transferred to Numazu City. The following year, in 1970 (Showa 45), it opened as Numazu Goyotei Memorial Park. Two buildings remain: the West Annex, built in the architectural style of the Meiji era, and the East Annex, which served as a study for the Imperial grandchildren. The West Annex, where Emperor Taisho resided, retains its original furniture and fixtures, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Imperial family at the time. The East Annex, once a place of study for the Imperial grandchildren, is now used as a workshop for tea ceremony and flower arrangement. The park features expansive pine forests and beautiful gardens bursting with seasonal flowers. Enjoy the stunning scenery year-round, with cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and autumn foliage. Mount Fuji is also visible from the park, providing a breathtaking backdrop. Numazu Goyotei Memorial Park is a popular destination for those seeking a tranquil escape surrounded by history and nature. Take a moment to reflect on the past and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the park.
