Since then, it existed as a base of Bingo for 300 years, but Katsunari Mizuno, the head of the Tokugawa family, built Fukuyama Castle to govern Bingo, and entered Fukuyama Castle in 1622. it was done. Today, the area of the gorge surrounded by two mountains, Mt. Koba and Mt. Hikasa, has become Yoshinoyama Park and is a place of relaxation for the townspeople as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot.
