Sumpu Castle Park is a central landmark in Shizuoka, built on the site where the first Tokugawa Shogun, Ieyasu, spent his retirement. While the main castle keep no longer stands, visitors can explore impressive reconstructed structures like the East Gate and Tatsumi Yagura tower. The park is a favorite for locals and tourists, especially during the spring when cherry blossoms line the moats. Inside, the Momijiyama Garden offers a tranquil setting with a traditional tea house where you can experience a formal tea ceremony. The grounds are spacious, well-maintained, and provide a quiet retreat from the surrounding urban bustle.
