Kaiwomaru Park / 海王丸パーク
This is a park in Kaiou-cho, Izumi City, Toyama Prefecture, where Kaioh Maru is currently on display. The reason why Kaiou Maru is preserved here is because the former Toyama Merchant Marine College (now the Toyama College of Water Imizu Campus), where many “man of the sea” grew up, was nearby.
Except for the winter season, a total sail exhibition sail (an event to display all the “Sohantenpan” sails) by volunteers and a climbing ceremony are held about 10 times a month, attracting many tourists [2]. In winter, the private engine room and ship tours are usually held for a limited time.
Various events were also held, and in 1992 "Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)" was performed by Soprano Tomomi Kanagawa and others.
The park and its neighborhood are mainly composed of exhibitions of Kaioh Maru, and are composed of plazas, restaurants, shops and training facilities. There are bird parks and "Ikitaki Market" nearby, and the panorama with the background of Shinshiro Ohashi Bridge and Tateyama Mountain Range opened in September 2012 has become popular. Kaioh Maru and Shinshiro Ohashi Bridge are sometimes lit up and are certified as sacred places for lovers. We also accept ship weddings to celebrate by ringing a time bell.
