    Niigata Murakami-shi Shiomachi 13-34
    A park adjoining the Tanegawa River, a tributary of the Miomote River. Trees and flowers, an arbor, and a playground are arrayed around the park’s central grass lawn. Inside the park, visitors can see rainbow trout swimming in an artificial river. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal scenery, including cherry blossoms in spring and fireflies in summer. A statue in the park depicts Aoto Buheiji, a retainer of Murakami Domain in the Edo period who invented the Tanegawa system, the first system in the world to successfully naturally breed salmon. The adjoining Iyoboya Kaikan museum provides information on Murakami salmon, which records state were even officially gifted to the nobility in distant Kyoto long ago during the Heian period.
