Shiroyama Park – Where History Meets Scenic Beauty

Once the site of Takahama Castle, Shiroyama Park is now a peaceful, open space where locals and visitors alike come to relax and take in sweeping views of the Japan Sea. The park is especially known for its series of striking sea caves, celebrated since ancient times as Yana no Kishō, or the “Beautiful Spot of Eight Caves.”

Among these natural wonders, the most famous is Meikyōdō Cave, where the view of the ocean through the cave’s opening is said to resemble a mirror. This breathtaking scene even drew the attention of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate and the visionary behind Kyoto’s Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji).

With its blend of natural beauty and historic legacy, Shiroyama Park offers a memorable stop for those exploring the coast of Takahama. From the east hill of Shiroyama Park you can enjoy views of Takahama’s rocky coastal scenery and an observation deck affords a panoramic view of Wakasa Bay.
