I went on fieldwork for the first time in a while to see Mushroom Rock.
The view from Takabocchi was amazing! I was able to see Mt. Bandai and various other mountains and trees.
There were some areas that were only accessible to visitors of Koriyama Natural Forest, but even excluding those, there was a spacious area to enjoy fieldwork.
On the way to Mushroom Rock, I came across a pond called Nigoriike (Migori Pond), which wasn't as murky as I expected. The birdsong was soothing.
Jodo Matsuyama isn't particularly high at 343 meters, but if you take the path leading out of Kuroiwa (currently closed due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake) and turn right, you'll find a slope with a large elevation change, making it a great place for hiking.
There's a shrine deep inside Jodo Matsuyama, but I wasn't able to go this time, so if you're interested, please check it out.
There's a sign pointing to a cave near Takabocchi, but it's more like a small secret base. Climbing rocks like Takabocchi can be very slippery, so please be careful.
There's a lot of pollen in the air right now, so I recommend taking precautions beforehand. Please be careful not to enter the wrong land as it is owned by the Ministry of Defense.
The playground equipment is currently under construction so you can't go in, but you can play in the plaza next door. It's spacious so you can play at your leisure.
I definitely recommend you go and check it out!
The hills around Jodo Matsuyama have been turned into a park where you can enjoy hiking. The pine forests are magnificent, earning it the nickname "Matsushima on land." The unique, oddly shaped rock formations known as Kinokoiwa are a must-see. There are also athletic playgrounds, making it a great place for families.
I've visited the park several times, but this was my first time going all the way to the rocky area deep inside.
As you can see in the photo, the view from the south side made me feel like I was in another world.
This park has beautiful grass. There are few playground equipment, but on the other hand, it is a great place to deepen parent-child communication by playing ball with your children. It would be a waste of time to leave your children at the playground equipment. Smoking is not permitted in the park, and pets are also not allowed. It's a grassy park, so you'll want to lie down. There are eight barbecue pits in the park, so it's a fun park to plan ahead.
