History
Shiokaze Park opened in 2000 at the mouth of Komatsushima Port. Its location lets visitors feel close to the harbor scenery of Komatsushima, once a bustling gateway for maritime trade, and it was developed as a place of rest for residents. Since opening, it has served as a waterfront park woven into everyday local life. For details of the park's facilities and layout, consulting official information is recommended.
Access
The park is located in Komatsushima-cho, Komatsushima City, near the entrance to Komatsushima Port. Visitors can drive from the direction of Tokushima City, or consider public transport such as local buses. Because it faces the harbor, following the coastline makes it easy to find. Checking official information for transport options and parking before your visit is advisable.
Best season
As a park defined by its pleasant sea breeze, warm clear days from spring into early summer and the mild days of autumn are especially recommended. Summer evenings, when the wind off the sea brings a cooling relief, are also delightful for taking in the waterside view. As it can be windy on some days, checking the weather beforehand makes for a more comfortable visit.
