Sakura Viewing Spot with Beautiful Reflections

📍Fukuroi Irrigation Park

Fukuroi Irrigation was developed during the Edo period for agricultural purposes.

Today, the area has become a park beloved by the local community and is a famous spot for cherry blossoms in spring.

The playground equipment at Fukuroi Park includes swings, horizontal bars, and stretch benches, and there is also a drinking fountain.

As a cultural asset, the remains of the Hōan Embankment, which was used as the outer moat of Tokushima Castle by Tokushima Domain founder Hachisuka Iemasa (Hōan was Iemasa's Buddhist name), are carefully preserved.

Additionally, there is a monument dedicated to the village headman Kusudo Kizaemon, who completed the Fukuroi Irrigation by selling his private property, and the Fukuroi Irrigation Water Source Site, which is a designated cultural property and historic site of Tokushima Prefecture.
