The Rose Park

Citizens around Minami Park ( The Rose Park today ) planted about 1,000 rose seedlings in the year 1956. The Rose Park stems from it. After that, Minami Park was designated as a city-planned park, and since 1961 the rose flowerbeds, hedges, grass and park streets have been developed. In 1965 the park was renovated to a form closely resembling the park today, which became popular as “Rose Park” among the citizens. Today the number of roses amounts to 5,500 with 280 species.
