Shiroyama was a mountain castle during the Warring States period, when it was known as “Tsukui Castle.” Lake Tsukuiko Shiroyama Park is located on both sides of Tsukuiko Lake. In the Negoya Chiku area of the park located at the foot of the mountain, you can enjoy walking and viewing history and culture. The Hana no Enchi and Mizu no Enchi areas on the bank of the river are famous cherry blossom viewing sites that feature beautiful views of the cherry trees reflected in the water.
