The original Yosami Wireless Transmitting Station was once capable of sending long-wave signals to submarines as far away as the Indian Ocean.
The D51 765 steam locomotive on display was manufactured in 1943 and operated for over 30 years before being decommissioned.
The park's layout occupies space where massive radio antenna towers previously stood, including some that reached heights of 250 meters.
A dedicated 'Wireless Communication Memorial Museum' is located on-site to preserve technical equipment from the 1920s.
The gardens incorporate rose cultivation techniques intended to showcase different varieties throughout the flowering season.
Floral Garden Yosami is a public park located on the former site of the Yosami Wireless Transmitting Station, once a vital hub for international communication. The site integrates formal English-style gardens with an industrial heritage display featuring a restored D51-class steam locomotive. The gardens are designed with a grid layout and feature seasonal plantings, including extensive rose beds. Educational elements include a museum dedicated to the history of the original wireless transmission towers that stood on this property until the 1990s. The park encompasses recreational zones, including a children's play area with water features and integrated community facilities. Paved walking paths connect the floral displays with the locomotive exhibit and the historical memorial hall. It serves as both a botanical space and a site for local industrial history preservation.
