Genjiyama Park

The Genjiyama mountain is located behind the Eishoji and Jufukuji temples.There is a legend that the Genji warrior Hachiman Taro Yoshiie set up a white flag on top of the mountain, praying for victory. This is the origin of the name Genji-yama, also called Shirahata (white flag)-yama (mountain).
It is loved as a nature park now that attracts many people during the cherry blossom season.


There is a statue of Minamoto Yoritomo seated in the park.
