Located in Hakodate's Ohmori Beach area, Takuboku Park offers splendid views of the sea and Mount Hakodate. This quaint park, though small, is a prime spot for witnessing stunning sunsets and fishing lights and is adorned with blooming rugosa roses.

The park is named after Ishikawa Takuboku, a renowned poet who represents modern Japanese literature. He favored Ohmori Beach for strolls during his time in Hakodate, even penning poems about the beach's sands and rugosa roses.

Inaugurated in 1958, the park features a statue of Takuboku donated by a sculptor, along with a monument inscribed with his verse. Visitors can experience the romantic essence of Takuboku's literary world, set against a beautiful seascape backdrop. Adjacent to the park, the "Hijikata Takuboku Museum" exhibits valuable Takuboku-related materials, making it a must-visit for literature enthusiasts.
