This is said to be the place where a peasant named Jinbe discovered under a big stone a gold seal (kin-in), which later became the national treasure.

The park overlooks Yara cape across the shore. At the gate of the park is a monument of the discovery of the gold seal, and inside is a poetic monument of Guo Moruo, Chinese historian / poet who had a deep tie with Fukuoka, and also a stone tablet representing an ancient map of the surrounding area.
