    Hyougo Pref. Koubeshi Tarumi-ku Higashimaikochou 2051
    A municipal park with an exotic atmosphere opened in 1900. The park is located at the foot of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge a five-minute walk from Maiko Station on the JR San'yo Main Line as well as Sanyo Electric Railway Maiko-koen Station. Maiko Beach is known for its spectacular white sands and green pines as well as its commanding view of Awaji Island and has been praised in poem and song since ancient times. Today, some 1,800 pines grow in a grove in the area. Various historic structures restored or rebuilt to their full glory stand on the park's grounds and are open to the public, such as the Former Residence of the Kinoshita Family, an early modern Japanese home built in the tea ceremony arbor style; and the Former Residence of Sanji Muto, a Western-style home built in the Colonial style.

    The bridge hangs over this park. Why was this park built, just to gobble up more budget? Devastating!

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Suma-ku Midoridai
    "This large sports park is situated on the northwest side of Kobe City. The park's vast, lush grounds encompass sports facilities such as Kobe Universiade Memorial Stadium, which served as a National Athletic Meet venue; and the domed Green Arena Kobe gymnasium. The park is also a famous destination for flower viewing, exploding with the blossoms of some 50 thousand canola plants in spring and 100 thousand cosmos in autumn. Park areas such as Boken no Kuni (""Adventure Land""), outfitted with an ultra-long slide and health-promoting playground equipment; and Shizen no Kuni (""Nature Land""), which has long slides built on the side of a mountain, bustle with families and children throughout the year."

    A 2.7-hectare municipal park sprawling in the heart of downtown Kobe City on the south side of Sannomiya Station on JR and private railway lines.

Today, the park is also used as the primary venue for events such as the Kobe Festival, the Kobe Luminarie, and memorial ceremonies for the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The park grounds are also the location of monuments relating to the disaster, such as a monument to the souls lost and post-disaster recovery, and the 1/17 Light of Hope.

    スポーツ施設だけでなく、グリーンも多くて海まで見えるのでこの時期は最高です。あまり人もいません。駐車場もありますから車で行きやすいです。ただ、車で行く時なのですが、2号線にある帰りの信号が感応式になっていてなかなか変わらないのだけはネックですね。

    アクセスはバスか車のみ。 そのため近隣の方がほとんどで、公園内は比較的いつも人が少ないと思います。 起伏に富む地形で、広場やバーベキュー用のスペースもあるので、家族連れにはぴったりです。 無料駐車場は30台程度のスペースなので、満車の際は諦めましょう。
