Guo Moruo Memorial Park gives an illusion to us to stray into a town in early Showa era in Japan. A wooden one-storied house with a tiled roof and an external corridor of Guo Moruo Memorial Hall is a wonderful building that gives rise to nostalgic feeling. This house that Guo Moruo, a Chinese scholar of literature, history and politician, lived in for 10 years from 1928 was repaired and moved from Suwada in Ichikawa city to this park. Moreover Ichikawa is sister city of Lochan in China where Guo Moruo was born in. In spring, a pretty (kawaii) carpet formed by thousands of moss phloxes would greet you!
Why don't you visit Guo Moruo Memorial Park in Ichiakwa city?
