Parks & Gardens

Sakai’s green spaces range from historic coastal groves to expansive modern metropolitan parks. This collection highlights the city's diverse landscapes, including Daisen Park, a centerpiece of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group World Heritage site, and Hamadera Park, known for its centuries-old pine trees. These sites offer a mix of historical significance, such as the location where St. Francis Xavier stayed in the 16th century, and specialized facilities like the sumo ring at Ohama Park and the extensive sports complexes at Kanaoka and Baraike.
