Ikedayama Park is a scenic park that opened in 1985, developed as a ward park on the former site of a suburban residence of the Ikeda clan of the Okayama Domain (Bizen Province) in the early Edo period. Designed as a pond-centered Japanese strolling garden, it makes the most of the area’s varied terrain, and you can enjoy sweeping views from the hilltop gazebo. With wooded areas and a waterfall, it has also gained attention in recent years as a power spot.
Another draw is its seasonal plant life: plum blossoms and camellias from mid-February to mid-March, azaleas from mid-April to mid-May, Japanese irises from late May to mid-June, hydrangeas from June to mid-July, and vibrant autumn leaves from mid-November to early December.
In 2019, barrier-free upgrades were completed, making the park even more comfortable to visit.
