Sakai's Central Park boasts an area of approximately 35 hectares. The Peace Tower stands in front of the ginkgo tree-lined street at the north entrance, and the gourd-shaped Dora Pond, a renovated reservoir from the Edo period, is surrounded by a lawn area and a children's forest, making the park bustling with children on weekends. Other facilities within the park include the Sakai City Museum, where you can learn about the history and culture of Sakai City, a 26,000-square-meter Japanese garden, and Sakai City Teahouse Shinan, where you can casually enjoy a cup of matcha. In April, approximately 400 Somei-Yoshino and Oshima cherry trees are in full bloom.
