Senshu Park

Senshu Park

Choka Park is located about a 10-minute walk from Akita Station and offers beautiful seasonal landscapes along with the history of the Akita Domain. Originally the site of Kubota Castle, built by the first feudal lord of the Akita Domain, Satake Yoshinobu, it now captivates many visitors as a Japanese garden. The autumn foliage from mid-October to early November is particularly stunning, attracting crowds during the "Hōkaeri Momiji Festival" and various other events.

Within the park, you can find the old government building "Omotohigashi-bansho," the reconstructed "Kubota Castle Osumi Yagura," and the "Kubota Castle Omote-mon," all of which convey a sense of historic value. At "Yojirō Inari Shrine," the tragic legend of the fox Yojirō is told, giving visitors a deeper understanding of the Akita Domain and its culture.

Walking along the pathways allows you to enjoy spring cherry blossoms, summer azaleas, and autumn colors, showcasing the beauty of all four seasons. Additionally, at the "Akita City Satake Historical Museum" located within the park, you can learn about the history of the Akita Domain and the Satake family.

Choka Park is a must-visit spot for those who appreciate the beauty of nature and the depth of history. It is certainly recommended for history enthusiasts, as well as for leisurely strolls with family and friends.
