Suma Seaside Park

A park located a five-minute walk from JR Sumakaihinkoen Station and right next to the Wakamiya interchange. Once the site of a villa belonging to the Sumitomo family, after the residence' destruction in an air raid, the grounds were donated to Kobe City and then, after appropriate construction measures were taken, turned into a park in 1951. Today, the foundations of the villa's arbor still stand, as well as gateposts and stones laid around the circumference. The sandy pine grove which spans the park has been selected for inclusion in a list of top 100 white sand beaches with green pine groves in Japan. The Former Wadamisaki Lighthouse, Japan's oldest extant iron lighthouse, has also been moved to the park's grounds. The park bustles with visitors in the spring and fall come to fish along the coast.
