Meijō Park, the north park (名城公園北園) 名城公園北園
A wisteria pergola 660 metres long, 85 plants, with Nagoya Castle behind it.
For the municipality, ‘Meijō Park’ is the collective name for the parks around Nagoya Castle, including the second and third baileys. This page is about the north park, in Kita ward, the one with the large lawn, the flower beds and Ofuke Pond. The wisteria pergola, which the municipality calls ‘the wisteria corridor’, was built by the city under a three-year plan starting in 1984: 660 metres long, 3,300 square metres of cover, nine varieties and eighty-five plants, from the castle's east gate to the south garden. In 2012 it became one of the twenty views the municipality chose as the city's urban landscape, and the stated reason is the sight: the purple of the clusters against the bronze of the castle's roof tiles.
