Graceful moments at Tōin Tea House.

Centered around Toyokuni Shrine, built in 1885 to commemorate the birth of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Nakamura Park features a traditional Japanese strolling garden with a forest and pond.

Within the grounds, you’ll find Tōin Tea House, the Garden of Fragrance, and a memorial hall—perfect tea rooms for pre-wedding photography. The garden also boasts a beautiful bamboo grove.

In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, while early summer brings cascades of wisteria flowers, filling the air with their sweet fragrance.

There’s also the Nagoya City Hideyoshi & Kiyomasa Memorial Museum, which introduces the eras of Hideyoshi and Kato Kiyomasa, along with the Nakamura Culture Small Theater and Nakamura Library. Beyond photography, it’s a place for strolling, jogging, and leisure.
