Enough to do exercises, enough to be lost nature and access to the upper part of the city that I unfortunately didn't visit for my first venue. It seems that I would have to go back anyway to do a proper visite of the castle and its ruins. I heard the walk and panorama is worth the walk so definitely a come back for sure
A really nice park for a run, walk or to do a workout. Excited to find a pull up bar and dips bar too (close to the main statue / kids play ground).
Lots of bear signs - although one last seen in January 2026 (as of 4th June 2026), but still probably good if your go early morning or evening when less people around to take a bear bell or play your songs loud so they hear you coming if they are there.
Stunning walk to the top, is pretty inclined though so you have to be quite fit and stable on your feet. Nice views of the surrounding mountains. The lower park area isn't anything spectacular but the walks to the shrines further up are worth it!
A must-visit stop on the Higashiyama Walking Course!
We were here in autumn and the fall foliage made the scenery absolutely stunning. The park is situated on a hill offering a peaceful panoramic view of the entire town below. It’s a bit of a climb.
Highly recommended if you love nature.
Nice park, great views, watch out for bears.
There's a great little authentic coffee house on the walk up the hill from the town.
