Nakamura Park 中村公園

Yesterday, we visited Nakamura Park. My dad likes Japanese history and watching NHK Taiga (samurai) dramas. This location is well known as the birthplace of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyokuni Shrine is located in the park.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born as a farmer’s son and later became a samurai (kampaku). There are two other famous samurai, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. All were originally from my hometown, Aichi Prefecture.

Nakamura Park:Nakamura-cho, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 453-0053, Japan

The Nagoya Nakamura Taiga Drama Museum is open.

One of the Japanese bloggers posted about the event and shrine. Thank you!

昨日、両親と一緒に「中村公園」に行って来ました。父は歴史好きで、大河ドラマをよくみます。この場所は、豊臣秀吉の生誕地。公園内には、「豊国神社」があります。

ちょうど「豊臣兄弟! 名古屋中村 大河ドラマ館」が開催中なので、そちらも見学。

豊臣秀吉は農民の子として生まれて、後に天下統一をします。ちなみに、織田 信長と徳川家康も愛知県出身。

少し前、日本人ブロガーさんがスポットの紹介をしていたので、参考にしました。 ありがとうございます 🙏

同じところを訪れたので、写真は似たような感じですが…😅

      Historical places can be relaxing. I’m from Nagoya, but this was my first time visiting.

    What a wonderful and meaningful visit! I really enjoyed reading about your trip to Nakamura Park and learning more about the historical roots of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It’s fascinating that all three great figures — Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga, and Tokugawa Ieyasu — came from Aichi Prefecture. Your post beautifully combines family time, local history, and cultural appreciation. I also love how you connected the visit with NHK Taiga dramas and the blogger’s recommendations. It makes the experience feel even more personal and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this lovely historical journey! ✨

        Yes, this time I visited four prefectures: Osaka, Aichi (my hometown), Toyama, and Tokyo.

        My dad was fine. I talked to him a lot 😊

        That sounds like such a meaningful trip 😊🌸
        Osaka, Aichi, Toyama, and Tokyo in one journey—that’s a lot of beautiful places and memories in one go!

        I’m really glad to hear your dad was doing well too, and it’s even nicer that you got to spend time talking with him 😊 That kind of time with family is truly precious.

    行かれたんですね!!
    そして、お父様とご一緒に行けて、良かったですね(^^)/

    でも、豊公誕生の地の瓢箪とか見てなかったです(^-^;
    機会があったら、次回見に行きます(*^^)v

      はい、行ってきました! (^^) 徳川美術館でも特別展が開催されているようで、どっちに行こうか迷ったんですが、私が中村公園に行ったことがなかったので、今回は選びました。ちょっと地下鉄の駅から距離があったかな。私は大丈夫だったけど、80代の父には大変だったので、帰りはバスで名古屋駅まで行きました。

      展示の方は楽しんでみてて、写真も一緒に撮りました。天気が良くて公園の散策もできたし、また機会があれば行きたいです♪
