The park is located 49.5km away from the city of Busan, Korea. Depending on weather conditions, the mountains and night view of Busan are visible across the sea. The park is 72ha in size and contains remains of gun batteries and the Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center. It also includes a peace plaza, small stream garden area, natural camellia garden, and stone monument that shows the location is the north-westernmost point in Japan.
Foreign Country Viewpoint
A viewpoint on the road running from Nodo harbor to Ikuchi beach. The area commands a spectacular panoramic view of the sea; the fishing lights and Busan's commercial and residential streets and buildings are visible on clear nights.
Mt. Senbyomaki
Senbyomaki, meaning "sowing a thousand bags of seeds," is a mountain covered in wild grass, a rare occurrence on Tsushima. The mountain was thought to be large enough to be able to sow a thousand bags of wheat and buckwheat seeds, thus earning its name.
In ancient times, soldiers garrisoned on Tsushima prepared for a foreign enemy's possible invasion by arranging signal fires. Mt. Senbyomaki was the starting point of the signal fire relay.

※ There are two wind turbines however, unfortunately they have been disabled.
Ikuchihama Beach
A beautiful, shallow, and sandy beach located at the foot of Mt. Senbyomaki and reviewed as a first-class water front. The swimming area is easy for children to play and others to enjoy themselves.
Tenjin Takuzudama Shrine
This is an ancient shrine in a forest with a sacred stone used as a dwelling place for gods. The area is believed to be a place for where gods of heaven and Earth are deified. The Sago area of Kamiagata and the Tsutsu area of Izuhara are famous for worshiping priest Tendo. The story is included in Japan's "Three main Truths" which was recorded in the 12th year of the Jogan Era (870).
Mt. Mitake
The district of Kamiagata's peak has been revered from ancient times as a sacred mountain. The mountain is famous for its thickly grown primeval forest untouched by human hands, and as a migration point for white-tailed eagles. A 1920 survey confirmed that the phantom bird "kitataki" (Tristram's woodpecker) inhabited the area. Subsequently, although people have heard their calls and the rustle of the trees, they are no longer seen, and it is thought that they've gone extinct. 
Unatsura's Sphinx
There are some uniquely shaped rocks in Unatsura district. One of them looks like the Egyptian sphinx. It is about a 10 minute walk along the coast from Unatsura fishing port. 
Baji Kouen Park
The Taishu horse is native to Tsushima. This breed is small, but powerful and was used in agriculture. Today, only about 30 remain, but there is a breeding program trying to increase the breed's numbers. Horseback riding is available at the park.
