Kohama Park
Obama Park is located at the western edge of Obama City, facing Obama Bay and situated at the eastern foot of Mount Kaibouzan. The Aoi River flows through the park, which features monuments to Obama-born late Edo period loyalist and anti-foreign activist Umeyama Unbin, and a poetry monument for Myōjō school female poet Yamakawa Tomiko. From the observation deck, visitors can overlook Kohama City, as well as the Utsumi and Ōshima peninsulas. Deep within the southern part of the park stands Kōjōji Temple, whose predecessor was Ankoku-ji Temple, established by Ashikaga Takauji in various regions.
