A Relaxed Day in Morioka – Castles, Parks & Pizza

#cityplaybook Morioka is one of those underrated cities in Japan that quietly charms you with its mix of history, greenery, and a cozy café scene. I started my stroll at Morioka Castle Ruins Park, where the old stone walls and seasonal trees create a peaceful atmosphere—perfect for a slow morning walk. Then, I wandered through the spacious Morioka Chuo Park, a lesser-known spot with wide lawns and fresh air. When I got hungry, I headed to sunnys cafe, a local favorite. Their margherita pizza was absolutely delicious—simple, fresh, and satisfying! Why I recommend a walk in Morioka: ・You’ll find beautiful parks and historic ruins within walking distance ・It’s the kind of place where you can really slow down and enjoy the moment 📍Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan #moriokawalk #moriokacastlepark #chuopark #sunnyscafe #hiddenjapan #slowtravel #cityplaybook #pizzainjapan
