Kinugasayama Park is a city park in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, covering almost the entire 136-meter-high Mount Kinugasa.
Adjacent to the site of Kinugasa Castle, a former stronghold of the Miura clan, the mountain is officially known as "Kurakake-yama" (鞍掛山), meaning Saddleback Mountain, due to its shape resembling a saddle on a horse's back.
Established in 1907 (Meiji 40) to commemorate the soldiers who perished in the Russo-Japanese War, the park features a variety of plants, including cherry and bush clover trees.
The park is especially famous for its cherry blossoms, earning it a spot among Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots. In spring, approximately 2,000 cherry trees burst into bloom, painting the mountainside in a vibrant pink hue.
From the summit observatory, you can feast your eyes on a magnificent vista, including Tokyo Bay, the Boso Peninsula, and even Mount Fuji on a clear day. This breathtaking scenery captivates visitors year after year.
Moreover, the park offers delightful hiking trails in spring and autumn. Stroll along the well-maintained walkways and immerse yourself in the beauty of the changing seasons.
With children's play equipment and a barbecue area, the park provides all-day entertainment for families.
Kinugasayama Park is a captivating park where you can connect with nature and history. Be sure to visit!
