It's really great local park in the summertime. The water features are really lovely for the kids. It has sandbox play area. Park is equipped with drink vending machine and bathrooms (bathrooms not so great). Trees offer shade from the summer sun. Other seasons I'd give it a star less.

Great park, lots of mature trees for shade, variety of play equipment including slide, sandpit, flying fox, fountains and stream for children to play in the water. Highly recommend it. About 15min from south exit of Asaka station.

Great place for kids to play in the water in summer.

Great place to walk and make some walk, exercises. Friendly place for children and adults and elderly people. Ramen restaurant close as a Seven Eleven shop

Very nice park. Baseball field, track, and playground.

Quiet place and great to go walking. Big and natural.

A park where the kids and parents can enjoy.

Silent place and good for family playground and excellent spot for picnic

Great place relax on weekend

(Translated by Google) It's the perfect place to bask in the sun. I have used a tent to dry clothes. There is also a basketball goal. On the tax office side, there are people who are enjoying slacklining and people who are doing activities for children to enjoy nature. Asaka no Mori has a slightly winding loop course. Be careful of pedestrians, but it's perfect for practicing riding a bicycle. Recently, it has become a venue for events. The show was lively, with classic Showa cars on display. This is a place that is likely to be used more and more widely in the future. (Original) 日向ぼっこをするのにピッタリな場所です。 自分は、テントを干しに利用したことがあります。 バスケットゴールもあります。 税務署側では、スラックラインを楽しまれている方や子どもたちが自然を楽しむ活動をされている方たちがいます。 朝霞の森は、少し曲がりくねった周回コースがあります。 歩行者に注意ですが、自転車を乗る練習をしたりするにはピッタリ。 最近は、イベントの会場になったりしています。 昭和クラシックカーが展示されたりと、盛り上がりを見せていました。 これから、どんどん活用の幅が広がりそうな場所です。

(Translated by Google) Next to Aobadai Park is Asaka Forest. There is a BBQ and various activities. It is OK to set up a pegged tent, and no special application is required. You can easily do day camping. If you wish to use fire, you may only use it within the designated area and must apply (no bonfires allowed, only gas allowed). You can download area guide maps and apply for reservations online. Please search for "Asaka no Mori General Reservation" on Google (confirmed with Asaka City Hall). The dust can be heavy on windy days, so we recommend checking the forecast before making a reservation. There is a water source, but please use the restrooms at Aobadai Park, which is right next door. (Original) 青葉台公園の隣が朝霞の森になっています。BBQや様々なアクティビティがあります。ペグ打ちのテントの設営OKで、特に申請不要です。気軽にデイキャンプが出来ます。火を使う場合は、エリアの範囲内のみOKで、申請が必要です（焚き火不可、ガスのみ可）。エリア案内図のDLと予約申請はWebで出来ます。Google検索で「朝霞の森 汎用予約」と検索してください（朝霞市役所に確認済み）。風の強い日は土埃が酷いので、予報を見ての予約をお奨めします。水場はありますが、トイレはすぐ隣の青葉台公園を利用してくださいとの事です。

(Translated by Google) I went to see Asaka no Mori, which is adjacent to Aobadai Park. This was the planned site (3 hectares) for national civil servants' accommodation. I know a time when public facilities such as parks and schools began to be built one after another in areas that were once restricted to areas surrounded by chain-link fences. Over the years, I felt that Aobadai Park had been overdeveloped. Still, publicly managed parks are necessary, and it is acknowledged that they have sufficient value. However, if there is a large piece of land that is no longer in use nearby, I think it is natural for the people who live there to take the initiative and want a park or plaza that resembles an ``autonomous area.'' I got it. It is different from Aobadai Park, which has unusual play equipment. Prohibited items will be kept to a minimum, but as this is a place for citizens to use and relax, it seems that they have established the minimum necessary rules, and an organization has also been set up to manage such behavior. However, as the signboard states, "Base site interim use plaza management and operation preparation plaza, November 2012," even if the base is returned, 19.1 hectares will remain as state-owned land, of which 3 hectares will remain. However, the attempt to build a lodging facility for national civil servants was abandoned due to a lot of opposition, and it is believed that the site is now being used as ``Asaka no Mori.'' Although it is a plaza, the entire area is covered with a chain-link fence and there are time restrictions, so it is not possible to freely enter and exit at any time. As you enter the plaza, you will see large trees such as ``Shiraoak'', ``Yamazakura'', and ``Momiji-sycamore'' lined up in regular rows. It may have been pruned, but when you watch small children playing freely on the wide meadows or lawns from a distance, you realize how valuable the existence of parks and squares like this are. As mentioned above, this was once Camp Drake (North Camp). I'll spare you a lot of information, but during the height of the Vietnam War, there was a field hospital here. There was a junior high school nearby. Several times, I saw injured soldiers looking through the wire fence on the way to school, and even as a junior high school student I could tell that they were physically and mentally ill. It was not uncommon to see American soldiers walking around town. In 1974, it was decided that the majority of the base would be returned to Japan, and in 1986, the main part was completely returned to Japan in 1986. The former junior high school was moved to the back of Asaka Nishi High School, and the place that was the junior high school became the 4th elementary school. I was amazed at how the city has changed over the decades. I went out to find out, but I still felt unsure, so I went out again. When I first went out, I stopped by City Hall. When I told them that I was there to see how the site had changed, they told me who the person in charge was. Thank you very much for your kindness. However, I only received a tourist pamphlet and resigned. It might have been better to ask the department where the person in charge is. However, since I just wanted to write my impressions and not write a paper, I think this was a good idea. If I have a chance, I might visit you next time. (Original) 青葉台公園に隣接する「朝霞の森」を見学に行ってきました。国家公務員宿舎の予定地(3ヘクタール)だったところです。ある時期まで、金網フェンスで囲まれ、立ち入り禁止地域だった場所に、次々と公園や学校などの公共施設が建ち始めた頃を知っています。 長い年月のうちに、青葉台公園は整備され過ぎてしまっているように感じられました。それでも、公的に管理された公園は必要でしょうし、利用価値が十分あることも認められます。しかし、すぐ傍に使われなくなった広い土地があるならば、そこに住まう人々がイニシアチブを持って、言わば「自治区的」な公園・広場があって欲しいと思うのは、自然な発想だと思われました。 珍しい遊具などが設置されている青葉台公園とは趣を異にしています。 禁止事項を極力少なくはするが、市民が使用し、憩う場所ですから、必要最低限のルールは設けているようですし、その行動をマネージメントする組織も作られているようです。 但し、立て看板に、「基地跡地暫定利用広場管理運営準備広場、2012年11月」と記載されているように、基地が返還されても、19.1ヘクタールは国有地として残し、その内の3ヘクタールが、建築しようとしても反対が多くて断念した国家公務員宿舎であったのであり、その跡地を「朝霞の森」として利用しているのが現状だと思われます。 広場とは言え、金網の柵で全体が覆われ、時間制限があり、何時でも自由に出入り出来る訳ではなさそうです。 広場に入ると、「シラカシ」、「ヤマザクラ」、「モミジハスズカケノキ」などの大木が規則的に並んでいるのが見られます。刈り込まれたのかもしれませんが、広い草地または芝生で小さい子供たちがのびのびと遊んでいる姿を遠くから眺めていると、この様な公園・広場の存在が如何に貴重かが分かります。 前述のように、かつて、ここはキャンプドレイク（ノースキャンプ）でした。かなり省略しますが、ベトナム戦争が盛んな頃、ここに野戦病院がありました。直ぐ近くに中学校がありました。通学路から金網越しに心身共に病んでいると、中学生の私でも分かる傷病兵の姿を何度か見かけたことがありました。町を歩く米兵の姿を見かけることも珍しいことではありませんでした。 その基地が昭和49年(1974年)、大部分は日本に返還が決まり、昭和51年(1986年)に、主要部分が、昭和61年(1986年)には、全面返還されています。 かつての中学校が、朝霞西高校の裏手に移動し、中学校だった場所は、第４小学校になっていました。 数十年過ごした街の変遷に驚きました。確かめたいと思って出掛けたのですが、それでもあやふやな感じがして、もう一度出掛けました。 最初に出掛けた時、市役所に寄りました。跡地の変化具合を確かめたいので伺いました、とお話したら、係の方を教えてくださいました。丁寧に、ありがとうございました。しかし、観光用パンフレットだけを頂戴して辞してしまいました。係の方のいらっしゃる部署に伺えば良かったかもしれません。ただ、印象を書きたいだけで、論文を書くわけではないので、これで良かったのかなとも思っています。機会がありましたら、次回は伺うかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) This park is not suitable for walking dogs. The parking lot isn't big, so I had to walk around a lot and wait for it to become vacant. The park itself is not large and there are no play equipment. There were a lot of families, so there were a few people walking their dogs. The neighboring Aobadai Park is still a little easier to walk around. There are play equipment, toilets, and vending machines. There is no parking lot here. I thought I wouldn't repeat it. (Original) 犬を散歩させるには向かない公園。駐車場も広くなく、何度も周り、空くのを待つ。 公園自体も広さはなく、遊具もない。家族連れが多いので犬散歩させている人も数人だった。 隣の青葉台公園の方がまだ少し散歩させやすい。 遊具、トイレ、販売機あり。 こっちは駐車場なし。 リピートはしないと思った。

The Asaka City Museum is free to visit and consists of three rooms—one of which is larger—along with an outdoor area featuring a pond and a mill wheel. It provides insight into the city’s rich history, highlighting the role of copper manufacturing and the rivers in its early development. Although small, the museum is packed with information. Please note that all signs and descriptions are written in Japanese only.

There's a video corner about Asaka and a water wheel that spins as you pass through the path, all of which are attractive. The special exhibition, old tools, will be on display until February 9, 2025, displaying nostalgic items such as home appliances used in the 1950s and 1950s.

(Translated by Google) It's been almost 20 years ago, but when my children were in kindergarten, I often came here to visit. The exhibits are also quite extensive. The children were fascinated by the quiz. I went there for the first time in a while because there was an exhibition on the Kofun period. (Original) もう20年近く前になるが、子供達が幼稚園の頃はよく遊びに来た。展示もなかなか充実している。子供たちはクイズに夢中になっていた。 古墳時代の展示があったので久しぶりに来てみた。

(Translated by Google) Admission is free, there are coin lockers, and the bicycle parking area is large and covered. History from ancient times to modern times is explained. Asaka, formerly known as Hizaori, is famous for copper drawing, and there were many copper drawing factories there until the mid-Showa period. (Original) 入場無料でコインロッカーあり、駐輪場も屋根付きで広い。古代から近現代までの歴史が説明されている。朝霞、昔は膝折と言われていたこの地は伸銅で有名で昭和中期くらいまでは伸銅工場がたくさんあったことが展示されている。

(Translated by Google) It has been 24 years and 1 month since I moved to Asaka. I visited Asaka Museum for the first time during Golden Week when I was free. It's too old to say anything, but apparently people lived in Asaka around 30,000 BC. I didn't know that the area around the Kawagoe Kaido road that stretches from the Asaka police ruins towards Shiki City flourished as a post town called Hitsuori-juku. There were certainly some old historical buildings in that area. Considering the current calm flow of the Meguro River, it is hard to imagine that copper rolling was carried out using the power of a waterwheel powered by the water of the Meguro River. Although it is not big enough to be called a promenade, there is a promenade that passes by the waterwheel. Please be careful as there are mosquitoes. It's a peaceful facility that looks like it's a walking course for a day care. 2024/05/03 (Original) 朝霞に移り住んで24年1ヶ月。 暇にしていたGWに朝霞博物館を初訪問。 古過ぎて何とも言えないが、紀元前3万年ごろに朝霞に人が住んでいたんだそうだ。 川越街道の朝霞警察跡地辺りから志木市方面にのびている道周辺が膝折宿という宿場町として栄えていたなんてのは知らなかったなぁ。確かにあの辺には古い歴史的な建物もあったなぁ。 目黒川の水流を利用した水車の動力で伸銅加工が行われていたなんて、今の穏やかな流れからは想像もできない。 遊歩道と言うほど大きなものではないですが水車の横を抜けた散歩道があります。藪蚊がいるのでご注意を。 デイケアの散歩コースになっているようで平和な施設です。 2024/05/03

(Translated by Google) This is a free museum with a compact permanent exhibition and a library. The exhibits mainly focus on ancient times and the Edo period, and if you live nearby it's a great place to learn all the history you need to know in a short 30-minute session. The exhibits seem to have been made during the Heisei era and have been used for a long time, so they may feel a little outdated, but they do have some fun features. With an increasing number of people moving in from outside the area, I think facilities like this will play a role in conveying pre- and post-war history. I hope they will update the exhibits to keep up with the times. (Original) コンパクトな常設展示と図書室がある無料のミュージアムです。 古代と江戸時代の展示がメインで、近くに住むなら知っておきたい歴史が30分程度の短時間で学べていい場所です。 展示内容は平成に作られたものを長く使っているようなので少し古臭さを感じるかもしれませんが、多少のギミックもあって楽しめます。 外から転入する人も増えて、戦前戦後の歴史を伝える役割はこういった施設が担っていくことと思います。時代の潮流に合わせて、展示内容のアップデートに期待したいです。

This is a small public park situated on a steep hillside. It has its own waterfall, hence the name. The huge trees give plenty of shade even for the play area. Most places are accessible via steps, so those with sore legs will find this place difficult to enjoy. The toilets are at the foot of the hill. Recommended if you are living nearby or visiting someone.

Great place for elementary age kids to play. Climbing ropes and lots of challenges

Interesting park with hanging bridge in the middle of nowhere.

Beauty place, with a tiny lake with fishes, so beautiful

(Translated by Google) It was a popular park with wooden athletics. Athletic use is currently prohibited. Could it be deterioration? There were other people besides us who came without any information. disappointing. The forest looks nice and the suspension bridge stands out, so this time I just went for a walk. My kids seemed to be having fun running, probably because of the difference in elevation. You can use the tennis court, and there are restrooms and benches, so it might be a good place to take a walk, or a good place to play in the water in the summer. It's a park. We look forward to the resumption of athletics. (Original) 木製アスレチックが人気の公園…だった。 現在はアスレチック使用禁止。劣化だろうか。 ウチの他にも情報なく来てきてしまった方々がいた。残念。 林はいい感じだし、吊り橋が映えるしだから今回は散策だけ。高低差があるからかウチの子供たちは楽しそうに走っていた。 テニスコートの利用、トイレやベンチがあるので散歩の中継地、夏の水遊びにはいいかも。って公園。 アスレチックの再開を期待しています。

(Translated by Google) It is a park with steps that take advantage of the topography. It is a "suspension bridge" after all. Children from nearby nursery schools come to play. The play equipment is currently under construction to become new. Let's move our bodies to the fullest. 🎾There is also a tennis court. ✌️ (Original) 地形を活かした、段差のある公園です。やっぱり「吊り橋」です。近くの保育園の子どもたちが遊びに来ます。只今、遊具は新しくなるために🚧工事中です。思い切り🤸身体を動かしましょう。🎾テニスコートもあります。✌️

(Translated by Google) We were unable to play on the playground equipment until March 21, 2020 due to construction work replacing it, but it felt like taking a walk in the forest and we had fun with the kids! It seems that the ban will be lifted soon, but it is a mystery whether wooden play equipment will also be lifted. Athletics that take advantage of the differences in elevation are fun, so I would like Asaka City to do their best. (Original) 令和7年3月21日まで遊具取替工事中で遊具では遊べませんでしたが、森の中を散策してるみたいで子供と楽しめました！ もうすぐ解禁されるみたいですが、木製遊具も解禁されるのか謎です。 高低差を活かしたアスレチックは楽しいので朝霞市に頑張ってもらいたいです。

Nice little playground in the shade. Lots of sporting grounds and facilities.

Good

(Translated by Google) The running course outside the stadium is 580 meters long, which is convenient if you want to measure your distance and practice. Although there isn't much time for individuals to use the stadium, the running course is free and can be used at any time, and is brightly lit even at night. (Original) 競技場外のランニングコースは580mあり距離を計って練習したい時は便利だ。競技場は個人で使える時間は多くないが、ランニングコースは無料でいつでも使えて夜でも照明があり明るい。

(Translated by Google) About 15 minutes walk from Asaka Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. A track and field stadium and ball game stadium will appear in a corner where public facilities such as a baseball stadium, track and field stadium, library, and park are concentrated. This time I visited for soccer, and although the ground (artificial turf) is a little hard, it is in very good condition. Although the number of seats is small, there is a covered stand on the main side, and I think it is a fine ground that can host a tournament. The downside is that there aren't many parking spaces (about 50 spaces) and the lighting is dim at night. Honestly, I think that for people who are a certain age and whose eyesight has deteriorated, the lighting here is difficult to see. (Original) 東武東上線　朝霞駅から徒歩15分ほど。野球場、陸上競技場、図書館、公園など、公共施設の集積された一角の中に、陸上競技場　兼　球技上が現れます。 今回はサッカーのために訪れましたが、グラウンド（人工芝）は、やや硬めですが、コンディションは非常に良く保たれています。席数は少ないですが、屋根付きのスタンドもメイン側に設けられており、ちょっとして大会なら開催できる、立派なグラウンドだと思います。 難点は駐車場が少ない（50台くらい）ことと、夜間の照明が暗いこと。ある程度年配の、視力が落ちてきている人にとっては、ここの照明は、正直、見えづらいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Around the stadium, there is a jogging and walking course with a lap length of 580m. Many people use the track and field stadium for soccer. There are days when it is open to the general public. The walking course is widely used by everyone from children to the elderly, but those using the stadium and those coming to watch the race may walk in the opposite direction or stop and watch, so those running should be careful. There are times when a food truck will come by selling okonomiyaki, shaved ice, Suzu castella, gelato, etc. Events and summer festivals are often held on the road in front of you or across the road. However, there are people who litter. The park management staff is diligent about cleaning and pruning, but the hard work of those people is being wasted. Free parking and bicycle parking within the park are helpful. You can also enjoy flowers such as cherry blossoms and dogwood. (Original) 競技場の周囲に、1周580mのジョギングやウォーキング専用のコースがある。 陸上競技場はサッカーで利用する人が多い。一般市民に解放されている日もある。 ウォーキングコースは子供から年配の方まで広く利用しているが、競技場内を利用している人や見物に来る人が逆方向に歩いたり、立ち止まって見物していることがあるので、走る人は気をつけた方が良い。 お好み焼き、かき氷、鈴カステラ、ジェラートなどのキッチンカーが来ることもある。 目の前の道路や道路を渡った先でイベントや夏祭りが行われることも多い。が、ゴミのポイ捨てをする人がいる。公園管理の人が掃除や気の剪定をマメにしてくれているのに、そういった人の苦労が台無しになる。 公園内にある無料の駐車場や駐輪場は助かる。 桜やハナミズキなどの花も楽しめる。

(Translated by Google) Visited to support the university soccer league. It was a great soccer field. Please note that the parking lot is quite limited! (Original) 大学サッカーリーグの応援で訪問。立派なサッカー場でした。駐車場がかなり少ないので要注意です！

A mini Forrest. Good for children

Park is closed (May 2023). Signs say it is closed for the foreseeable future with no indication as to when it will be open again.

(Translated by Google) Shiroyama Park is a medieval castle ruins that has been turned into a park. The area is roughly divided into the mountain area (Oka no Shiroyama) and a plaza for children. To this day, information about the castle's lord and its builders remains unknown, so while historical observations have been put aside, it is a park full of pure natural flavor. I think this is one of the top walking spots in Asaka City. (Original) 中世の城跡を公園として整備している城山公園。エリアは大きく分けて、山部（岡の城山）と、子供向けの広場に分かれています。 城の城主や築城者と言った情報が不詳のまま今日に至りますので、歴史的観測は一端脇に置きつつも、純粋に自然味溢れる公園です。朝霞市の散策スポットとして上位に挙げられる場所ではないかと思慮します。

(Translated by Google) The remains of an old castle in a residential area. A park with walking paths, athletic facilities, and playground equipment. In the summer, children can splash around in the artificial pond, but it's not a very pleasant environment with the trees and mosquitoes. I think it could be a bit of an adventure zone for children. (Original) 住宅街の中にある古城跡地 散策路とアスレチックや遊具のある公園 夏は人工池で子供が水遊びを出来るそうですが、木が生い茂り蚊が多くあまり気持ちが良い環境では無いですね 子どもにとってはちょっとした冒険ゾーンになるかとは思います

(Translated by Google) It's a good place to take a walk, and it's a fun place to play with children. There was a risk of falling trees, so we couldn't enter the mountain for a while, but it seems that the maintenance has been completed and you can play in the mountain. (Original) 散歩するのも良いし、子供とくれば楽しく遊んでくれる場所。倒木の恐れがありしばらく山には入れなかったが、整備も終わったようで山でも遊べます。

(Translated by Google) I went there when it was extremely hot in mid-July. The parking lot was in a unique location, and I thought it would be impossible to get there by car without a navigation system. The park was larger than I expected, with a long vertical shape and plenty of shade, making it perfect for a walk. There were almost no people there probably because we arrived at 9am. It's a modest park, so it probably won't be crowded during the day. It was great to be able to make use of the park. (Original) 7月中旬の激暑いときに行ってきた。駐車場が独特の場所にあり、ナビがないと車では辿り着けないと思った。公園は思ったよりも広く、縦に長い形状になっていて、日陰も多くて散歩に最適だと感じた。朝9時に到着したためか人はほぼいなかった。地味な公園なので日中も混むことはないのだろう。公園を広々と使えて良かった。

(Translated by Google) Under the hot sun, I headed to Shiroyama Park in search of some coolness. Being a weekday morning, there were few visitors. At 10:00 AM, amid the noisy chirps of cicadas, water began to flow like a waterfall from the pond. A gentle, cool breeze surrounded me. The surrounding trees were lush and reflected in the pond's mirror. The bottom of the small pond had also been thoroughly cleaned, making it visible. The cleaning staff had been keeping it up since early morning, maintaining it like a dry landscape garden. Thank you very much. The hydrangeas in the shade were still blooming beautifully, bringing back memories. Speaking of nostalgia, I remember coming to this park with my young children to splash around in the pond with its waterfall, or to climb the hill to look for stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles. Asaka City is full of spots where such fond memories pile up before you know it, and I think it's a great city. July 12, 2003 At Shiroyama Park in the scorching heat of 32°C (Original) 暑い日差しが降り注ぐなか、涼をもとめて城山公園へ。平日の午前とあって訪れる人もまばらです。かまびすしいセミの声が鳴り響くなか、午前10時になると池の上から滝のように水が流れ始めました。微かな涼しい風に囲まれます。 周囲の木々も青々として池の鏡に姿を表します。小さな池も底がきれいに清掃されており水底が見えていました。早朝から清掃員の方々がきれいにしていただいており、枯山水のように整備されておりました。ありがとうございます。 日陰にあるアジサイもまだ美しく咲いており懐かしい感じがします。 懐かしいと言えば、むかし小さなわが子を連れて滝の流れる池で水遊びや、小高い山に登ってクワガタやカブトムシを探しにこの公園に来たっけなあ。。。 朝霞市にはそんな甘美な思い出がいつの間にか積み重なるスポットがたくさんあり、いい街だと思います。 R5.7.12 32℃酷暑の城山公園にて

(Translated by Google) Thanks to the kindness of President Susaki of Marunuma Warehouse, I am always able to see paintings and sculptures by famous artists. Today, October 9, 2022, was an exhibition by Andrew Wyeth. It seems that many of the works that the president collects are drawings, watercolors, and other works that show the creation process so that they can be used as reference for the artists he is supporting, and today we will talk about how Wyeth conceived and completed the works. The creation process was displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, including the first rough sketch, and sketches that lined up ideas for how to draw the hand part in the middle of the process. Asaka doesn't really feel like art, but it's a nice place where you can suddenly feel like an artist when you come here. (Original) 丸沼倉庫の須崎社長のご厚意でいつも有名作家の絵や彫刻を拝見させてもらっています。 今日2022.10.9はアンドリューワイエスの企画展でした。 社長が収集している作品は支援中の作家の参考になるように素描や水彩など作成過程が分かるようなものが多いそうですが、本日もワイエスがどのように作品を構想し書き上げていったのか分かるような、最初のラフスケッチ、途中段階の手の部分の書き方の案を並べて書いてあるスケッチなど、作成過程が分かりやすい展示になっていました。 あまり芸術が感じられない朝霞ですが、ここに来ると急に芸術的な気分になれるいいところです。

(Translated by Google) I came to see the exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of Andrew Wyeth's birth. Marunuma Art Park is not a typical art museum, but it has a rich collection of Wyeth, and this time, although the exhibition was small, we were able to see drawings and watercolors of Wyeth's masterpiece ``Christina's World.'' It was very good. An elaborate model of the famous Olson House is also on display, and I'm looking forward to the later exhibition. (Original) アンドリュー・ワイエスの生誕100年記念展を観に来ました。丸沼芸術の森は一般的にいう美術館ではありませんが、ワイエスのコレクションが充実しており、今回も小規模な展示ながら、ワイエスの名作「クリスティーナの世界」の素描や水彩画が観られました。たいへん良かったです。かのオルソンハウスの精巧な模型も展示されており、後期の展示も楽しみです

(Translated by Google) The other day, I toured a pottery class. Show me the process of making it, Thank you for teaching me about glazes, I was shown an electric kettle and a wood-fired kiln. The highlight is the wood-fired kiln. A very large kiln. Once a year, they bake the works of students in the pottery class. It seems that a large amount of high-quality firewood is used at one time. I realized that it costs a lot of money to make pottery. Even though I came suddenly, I was able to talk to him about a lot of things, and I learned a lot from him. thank you very much. (Original) 先日、陶芸教室の見学をしました。 作るプロセスを見せていただいたり、 釉薬のことを教えていただいたり、 電気釜や薪の窯を見せていただいたりしました。 圧巻は、薪の窯です。 とても大きな窯。 年に一度、陶芸教室の生徒の方の作品を焼くとのこと。 一度に大量の上質な薪を使うそうです。 焼き物をするにも相当なコストがかかるのだなとしみじみと思いました。 突然伺ったにも関わらず、色々とお話をしていただき、大変勉強になりました。 ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) Thank you for your help in holding a pottery class. I wonder how long it's been since I've been able to interact with pottery clay and children's clay... I wonder if it's been 20 to 25 years since the children's clay. I loved drawing, but I hated making things. But once I came into contact with soil, I wanted to make it even if I wasn't good at it. It's really good! (Original) 陶芸教室開催ということでお世話になりました。 陶芸の土、子どもたちの粘土、ふれるのどのくらいぶりだろう‥‥。 子どもたちの粘土からでも20~25年たつのかなぁ～。 絵をかくのは好きだったけど、カタチつくるのイヤだったなぁ～。 でも、土にふれたら下手でもつくりたくなりました。 やっぱりいいですね～～!

(Translated by Google) Went on 5/20. 6-hour ticket from 7:00 to 13:00. The temperature on the day was 32 degrees, which was abnormally high, so no matter what you do, it's pretty tough. We caught a few fish at the top of the morning, a few fish in the release, and advanced anglers were using micro spoons. The fish were dense and the water was clear, so it may be difficult. I overheard a regular customer next to me say that the middle of the pond is good. (I was at the edge without knowing.) The staff must have been worried about the situation, because they released fish twice in the morning, even though it was a weekday. After the release, I managed to catch a few fish in a row. Even though it was the top, it was tough on the surface, and it may have been about 10cm below. It was my first time at this time of year, but if it's 32 degrees and this hard (physically), it seems like it will be tough in the real summer. As a beginner, it might be best for me to hold off until autumn. (Original) 5/20　行きました。7:00-13:00の6時間券 当日気温32度の異常な高温でもうこうなるとかなり何やっても状況厳しいです。朝一トップで数本、放流で数本　上級者らしき方々はマイクロスプーンでちらほらといった状況です。魚影も濃く水もクリアな分、難易度も高いのかもしれません。横の常連さんらしき人の話を小耳挟むと、池の真ん中あたりが良いそうです。（自分は知らずに端にいました） スタッフさんも状況見かねてなのか、平日なのに午前中に2回も放流入れてくれました。放流後にどうにか連チャンって感じです。トップとはいえ、完全なる表層は厳しく、10cmくらい直下というところかもしれません。 この時期初でしたが、32度でこのしんどさ（身体的にも）だと夏本番はやばそうです。 秋までは辞めておくのが初心者の私には得策かもしれません。

(Translated by Google) This is a fishing pond I often go to. It's spacious and surrounded by nature, so you can relax while fishing. It often gets crowded, so I recommend going on a weekday if possible. (Original) よく行く釣り堀。広くて自然が沢山あり癒されながら釣りができる。混む事がよくある。出来れば平日がおすすめ。

(Translated by Google) It felt like a managed fishing spot for advanced users 💦 I thought it would be difficult for beginners 💦 The area is clear water and there are a lot of fish, but as you can see, it seems that you will need a very delicate technique. After that, it seems that the area around the middle is advantageous in terms of location. Fish are gathering around the corners, but I don't think they will react enough to catch them. As a beginner, I managed to catch 2 rainbow trout in 3 hours🐟️ Lures other than spoons seem to be difficult. Most of the people around me were using spoons or lurching lures. If you're going to go, it's probably a good idea to bring something with you. I also want a spoon that weighs less than 1g. Also, the staff at the store didn't seem very friendly, which is a shame. (Original) 上級者向けの管理釣り場って感じでした💦 初心者には厳しいと思いました💦 エリアはクリアウォーターで魚影も沢山ですが…見える分、かなり繊細なテクニックが必要そうです。後は場所はエリア的には真ん中周辺が有利のようです。 角などに魚は溜まってますが、釣れる程の反応までとは行かないと思われます。 初心者の自分には何とか３時間で２匹のニジマスの釣果🐟️ スプーン意外のルアーは厳しいようです。周りの人達はスプーンか、にょろにょろ系のルアーの人が多かった。 もし行くのであればにょろにょろ系を持って行った方が良さそうです。スプーンも１g以下のが良い見たい。 そして、お店のスタッフさんはあんまり愛想が良さそうでは無かったので、残念です⭐

(Translated by Google) It is one of the most accessible areas in the metropolitan area, so that alone is a blessing. It uses abundant spring water? groundwater? with a stable water temperature, and is open all year round, which is rare for flat land. It is also nice that the water is still relatively clear even in summer and you can see the fish. I think there are a lot of fish, but I think it is quite difficult unless you get the hang of it, probably because there is constant pressure even on weekdays or because the water is deep. Most of the fish you can catch are rainbow trout, and occasionally yamame or cherry salmon. The average size is relatively large, about 30cm to 40cm, so it is nice that they pull well. When I occasionally go to an area with a small average size, I feel grateful for Asaka. There is also a small pond for bait fishing, but unlike general bait fishing for trout, it is thrilling. They release fish, but be careful of your fishing spot as the fish tend to gather in good conditions. I recommend that you be careful when using it with children. lol (Original) 首都圏の最もアクセスの良いエリアの一つなのでそれだけでもありがたい存在です。 水温の安定した豊富な湧水？地下水？を利用しており、平地では珍しく通年営業しています。夏でもまだ比較的クリアな水質で魚が見えるのも良いです。 魚影は濃い方だと思いますが、平日でも常にプレッシャーがかかっているためか、水深があるためか、コツを掴まないと結構難易度は高いと思います。 釣れる魚はほぼニジマス、たまーにヤマメかサクラマスといった感じです。アベレージサイズが比較的大きく、30cm〜40cmくらいなのでよく引いてくれるのが嬉しいところです。たまにアベレージの小さいエリアに行くと朝霞の有り難みを感じます。 餌釣りの小さな池もありますが、一般的なマスの餌釣りと違い痺れる渋さです。放流はしてくれますが、魚が条件の良い位置に固まるため釣り座に注意です。 お子様連れなどで利用する際は、油断せずに臨むことをお勧めします。笑

(Translated by Google) 2025/10 In 2025, I went fishing twice, in August and October, and caught 4 fish and 8 fish in 3 hours in the morning. I'm not sure if my skill has improved, but perhaps because I now have more lures and more options for finding the right lure, I've managed to catch a few here and there, so I've given it +2 stars. While the nickname "Tokyo University of Pipe Fishing" seems a bit of an exaggeration, it's certainly not an easy spot to fish, but the cathartic feeling when you catch a fish seems greater than at other spots. By the way, on the day I went (a morning with a warm temperature), the fish were quite popular with topwater lures (caddis, decamitz dry) and SR crankbaits (wa-wa, dumpling fish). I'm grateful that they release them on weekdays as well. 2024/08 Even taking into account the time of year (a scorching hot morning) and my skill, it still felt too tough. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners or children. Perhaps the situation will change somewhat once the weather cools down. However, once the weather cools down, other nearby fishing spots will open, and there will no longer be any reason to come here. (Original) 2025/10 2025年は8月と10月に２回釣行し午前3hで4尾/8尾キャッチ。 自身の腕前が上がったのかどうかは不明ですが、手持ちのルアーが増え、当たりルアーを探る選択肢が増えたせいか何とかポツポツ釣れるようになったので⭐︎を+2しました。 「管釣りの東大」という二つ名はちょっとオーバーな気はしますが、簡単な釣り場ではないことは確かな気がします。が、その分釣れた時のカタルシスは他の釣り場より多めな気も。 ちなみに自分が行った日（気温高めの午前中）はトップウォーター（カディス、デカミッツドライ）やSR系クランク（ワウ、団子魚）への反応が良かったです。 平日も放流してくれるのはありがたい。 2024/08 時期（酷暑の午前中）や自身の腕前を差し引いても、あまりにも渋過ぎる印象。 初心者や子供にはあまりお勧めできません。 涼しくなれば多少は状況も変わるのでしょうか。 とはいえ、涼しくなれば他の近場の釣り場もオープンしますし、敢えてここに来る理由も無くなってしまいます。

(Translated by Google) It's close to the city center, so even if you don't have a car, you can get there in 30 to 40 minutes from Ikebukuro. The average size is small, about 25 cm. (Of course there are big ones too) It's close to the city center and there are a lot of people, so the pressure is high and it's difficult, so it's even been called the Tokyo University of Sedge fishing. However, the rules for fishing spots are relaxed, so you won't be able to catch any fish at all if you don't use any other means. They also release water about three times a day, which is a good thing. If you can't catch any fish, you can escape from bows by carrying Senor Tornado in several colors. If possible, you can catch a lot of fish by reeling slowly in areas where fish are pooling, such as in streams. If you want to attack with a regular spoon or plug wrap, the spoon should be 1g or less. I get the impression that plugs like Chibipanikura and Mocha that can be wound very slowly and still keep the range are good for catching. There are people with bad manners at every fishing spot, but perhaps because this is a managed fishing spot with multiple small ponds, there are many people who just cross the line without any hesitation, so please be careful if you go there. (Original) 都心に近く車を持っていなくても池袋からなら30〜40分で行けるのが魅力です。 平均サイズは25cmくらいと小さめ。 (もちろん大きいのもいます) 都心に近く、人が多いからプレッシャーが高くて難しいので菅釣りの東大とまで言われてます。 ただし釣り場のルールは緩めなので手段を選ばなければ全く釣れないという事はありません。 放流も日に３回程度してくれるので良心的です。 どうしても釣れない時はセニョールトルネードを何色か持っていればボウズ逃れ出来ます。 出来れば流れ込みなど魚が溜まっているところでゆっくり巻くとよく釣れます。 正攻法のスプーンやプラグの巻きで攻めるなら、スプーンは1g以下がメイン。 プラグはチビパニクラやモカのように超スローに巻いてもレンジキープ出来るものがよく釣れる印象です。 どの釣り場でもマナーが悪い人がいますがここは小さな池が複数ある管理釣り場だからかとにかく平気でラインをクロスしてくる人が多いので行かれる方は気をつけてください。

(Translated by Google) Micro spoons are the main fishing spot, but you can catch a good amount of fish there. The water in the fly pond is relatively clear. It also contains delicious red fish. The parking lot is next to the pound, so cleaning up is easy. Recommended. (Original) マイクロスプーンが主力の釣り場になりますが、程よく釣れます。 フライ専用ポンドは比較的クリアな水質。 美味しい赤みの魚も入ってます。駐車場がポンド隣りなので、片付けも楽で良い。 おすすめです。
