A municipal park honoring Haruji Matsue, founder of Saipan's sugar industry: his larger-than-life statue (dedicated 1934, it survived the 1944 battle), the restored sugar-railway steam locomotive, komainu guardian statues, a hall of prayer with a peace bell, and a German-period stairway. The active Saipan Katori Shrine stands inside the park — please visit it respectfully. The park hosts the annual Japanese Autumn Festival each October.
