Takaoka Castle Park
1 of 1 in attractions in Takaoka
Takaoka Castle Park (高岡古城公園) is located at the site of the former Takaoka Castle, which was only in use for a few years during the early Edo Period. Today, visitors can explore the remaining castle foundations, moats, and enjoy boat cruises along the waterways. The park features vast lawns perfect for picnicking, wooded areas with walking trails, and over a thousand cherry trees, making it a top hanami spot in early to mid-April.
The park also includes Imizu Shrine, which stands within the castle grounds, and the Takaoka Municipal Museum, offering insights into the area's history. Just outside the park is the Takaoka Art Museum, home to the Fujiko F. Fujio Hometown Art Gallery, showcasing works by the creator of the famous anime Doraemon.
