Welcome to Kuwamizu Park

Hello, travelers!
I’m Ayu-mama, a writer for “Sarukuma.”
Today I’m introducing a hidden local gem in Kuwamizu, Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City:
Kuwamizu Park (神水公園).

You’ll find it right next to Kuwamizu Hospital.
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood, this park is the perfect spot to slow down and unwind.

Drinking fountain

Covered bench (the roof is a wisteria trellis—stunning in spring!)

Bench

There’s plenty of playground equipment, too.
Slide

Why We Love Kuwamizu Park

This park is impeccably maintained—you can tell the local community truly cares for it.

The flower beds are beautifully tended, with plenty of buds waiting to bloom.
It’s clear someone is putting in the love.

Can’t wait to see the colors come spring!

And here’s the best-kept secret: cherry blossom trees ring the park!

In spring, this becomes a fantastic local sakura viewing spot.
