History of the Park Hamacho Park was planned as part of the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and opened in 1929. The site was originally the lower residence of the Hosokawa clan, the feudal lords of the Kumamoto Domain during the Edo period. The Kiyomasa Temple, which enshrines Kato Kiyomasa, still remains within the park.
