About Funaoka Castle Ruins Park
- Visit during Cherry Blossom Season: We highly recommend visiting in spring when approximately 1,000 cherry trees are in full bloom for an unforgettable view.
- Summit Views: The view from the Peace Kannon statue is a must-see; the panorama of the Zao mountains and the Pacific Ocean is truly transcendent.
- Use the Slope Car: Utilize the slope car to reach the summit easily and enjoy the scenery without worrying about the elevation.
- Seasonal Gardens: Plan your visit around the blooming seasons of tulips or roses to enjoy the beautiful seasonal gardens.
