What other travelers are saying about Sumpu Castle Park
Nice walking area with several paths, a nice garden, and two historical museums. Though the museums are 95% japanese text as of April 2024.
There's also a nice 30 minute boat ride around the moat for 1000¥. The boat tour guide only speaks in Japanese as well but that's okay, you can focus on taking pictures. Note at the end of the ride the roof is lowered and you have to bend down while you go under the low bridge. One tip, board on the left side of the boat which means you'll be on the right side while going around the park. It has a better view for pictures most of the ride.
Beautiful place to visit. The ladies at the garden entrance were more than delightful. The tea house was an incredible experience, sadly y got eaten by mosquitos as it had just rained. Oh well, it's part of life. The gate and the turret are mesmerizing, but the samurai armor was pretty cool. Got to learn a bit more about Shizuoka's history.
I went for the Shizuoka festival! It was a beautiful park to enjoy the Sakura blossoms and spend time with family and friends. Lots of food stalls and even shows during the festival. I would like to come back next year!
Pleasant to bike through and provides some insight of the ongoing excavation as well as some historical data.
Close to a lot of nice shops and locations as well.
