Urakoji Park 裏小路公園

Plum and cherry tree spot near the doll museum

When you visit the Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum in Saitama City's Iwatsuki doll town, be sure to stroll over to this tiny park. The now vanished home of one of the city's mayors is now a small patch of lawn with plum and kawazu cherry trees. It's also got gates adorned with dolls in honour of the city's heritage. It's a little spot to take a breather on your walk through the former castle town.
