Eco Park Minamata

Nestled along the coast of Minamata, Ecopark Minamata is a sprawling park covering an area of 41.4 hectares. It is a delightful spot for visitors of all ages, featuring a playground, a rose garden, a bamboo grove, sports facilities, and even a museum dedicated to the history of Minamata disease. Additionally, with its restaurant and local market, it offers something for everyone.

On the west side of the park, you'll find a heart-shaped monument that's become a popular spot for Instagram-worthy photos. From the embankment, you can gaze out at the famous Koiji Island, known as a lovers' sanctuary, which is about 4km in circumference. The area becomes especially romantic during the magic hour when it's bathed in a pink glow.
