Matsugamisaki Park

Temperature and Precipitation in Yamagata

Matsugamisaki Park is the center of Yonezawa tourism.
Matsugamisaki Park originally had Yonezawa Castle, and the ruins of the castle were maintained as a park and became Matsugamisaki Park. In the park, there are many things related to the Uesugi family, which are the most closely related to Yonezawa among the lords of all time. The first thing I want to see is the statue of Kenshin Uesugi. Most of Kenshin Uesugi had a strong impression of Echigo, and he didn't really have much to do with Yonezawa. However, the Uesugi family, who joined the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara after the death of Kenshin Uesugi, were defeated and their territories were changed from Echigo to Aizu and Yonezawa. After that, there was a background that the Uesugi family was ruled in Yonezawa for about 300 years, and the Uesugi family became Yonezawa, and the statue of Kenshin Uesugi, the most famous of the roots of the Uesugi family, was built. There are also Uesugi Shrine and Uesugi Museum in the park, where you can study history and buy souvenirs related to the Uesugi family. In spring, about 200 cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and you can enjoy the spectacular view of the moat and cherry blossoms.
