Daitokuji Koen Daitokuji Park

A park named Daitokuji even though there is no temple

This famous phrase is said to be one of the Seven Wonders of Nagasaki and is still used today as a folk song, ``Daitokuji Temple, even though there is no temple.''
Daitokuji was abandoned in 1868. Although the name Daitokuji still remains, it is now a popular green park with Umekozaki Tenmangu Shrine and Kusunoki Inari Shrine.
Inside the park, there is a huge camphor tree that is estimated to be 800 years old and has been famous for a long time as the ``Great camphor tree of Daitokuji'' and is a designated natural monument of the prefecture.
Located on a spacious and well-ventilated hill, it was said to be one of the most scenic spots in Nagasaki at the time, overlooking Nagasaki Port. It is said that Maruyama prostitutes also frequented this place for relaxation.
At Kikusui, a long-established restaurant in the park that was founded in the early Meiji era, you can enjoy Daitokuji yakimochi, which has a taste that hasn't changed since ancient times.

    Prefecturally Designated Natural Monument: Daitokuji Temple's Souksu

    Estimated age is 800 years! Daitokuji's large soup

    Its presence is overwhelming when you stand in front of it. With a trunk circumference of 12.6m, this giant tree is one of the largest in the prefecture and has been popularly known as the "Daitokuji Kusu" for a long time. The age of the tree is estimated to be around 1 years.

    Perhaps because of this large Kusu, there is a large Kusunoki Shrine within the grounds, and a Kusunoki Inari Shrine next to the tree.

    Did Maruyama geisha also stuff his cheeks? Umegae yakimochi

    There is a Umegae yakimochi shop in the park that was founded in the early Meiji era.
    Made with mochi powder, it has a soft and chewy texture.
    There's plenty of sweet red bean paste inside.
    The crispy parts that stick out from the mold during baking are also delicious.
    Yakimochi, made using traditional methods, retains the taste that is still loved by people today.

    There is a wisteria trellis next to this Umegaeda yakimochi shop, and from April to May, the long pale purple flower spikes droop all at once, making for a beautiful sight to behold.
