Musashizuka Park is located in Kumamoto City. It's the grave site of the famous swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi's life has been portrayed in countless films as well as literature. But it’s Musashi's own treatise on strategy, The Book of Five Rings, which he allegedly conceived and wrote at the nearby cave of Reigandō, that he’s perhaps most renowned for. The book is not only studied by martial artists, but also business managers and students of philosophy. If you're interested in the life of Miyamoto Musashi or samurai history in general, a trip to Musashizuka Park is highly recommended while in Kumamoto.

Statue of Miyamoto Musashi demonstrating his two-sword style of swordsmanship.

The grave of Miyamoto Musashi surrounded by his retainers.

Statues of komainu, or lion-dogs, stand guard at many shrines throughout Japan.

The weathered statues enhance the historical ambience of the environment.

The kanji characters read the name, Musashi.

This large stone marker reads Musashizuka Park.

The grave of the swordsman, Shinmen Munisai, who also happens to be Musashi’s father.

The park also contains a beautiful Japanese garden.

While visiting, take your time to relax or go for a stroll. There is an excellent souvenir shop next to the park filled with various Musashi-themed items.

Gnarled rocks adorn the landscape.
