Couple of statues depicting historical persons and some old cannons. A good place to relax watching the ships passing by and the changing tides which occurs 4 times per day. Across the park is the entrance to the pedestrian tunnel for walking to/from Kyushu.

Enjoy sea view with Historical sign. Some one wear traditional clothes used a story box to talk Historical story in the park. Good to take photos and relaxing walk. If go to Kanmon Tunnel for Humans, visit here, just opposite.
