Anjin Memorial Park is a small, scenic park in Ito dedicated to William Adams, also known as Miura Anjin, the first Englishman to reach Japan. Located along the Matsukawa River near the coast, the park features a statue of Anjin and a monument of the ship he built, offering a glimpse into Ito's historical connection to shipbuilding. It's a pleasant spot for a brief visit while exploring the Ito hot spring area, especially during the Anjin Festival in August when fireworks light up the sky. The park is next to Nagisa Park, where parking is available. Best visited during the day to enjoy the sea views.
