The Shiroyama Park is located on a hill that was once the site of Takayama Castle. Lord Kanamori started building a castle here in 1590 it was fully completed sixteen years later. With changes in local administration at the end of the 17th century, the castle was no longer used and many of its buildings were destroyed or removed to nearby temples and shrines. In the late 19th century, the castle site was made into Shiroyama Park. Remains of the original dungeon foundations and walls can still be seen, and the park is famous for its lush greenery. There are also fine views of Takayama and the Japan Alps.
