Top 26 things to do and attractions in Nakanojo-machi

A nice lake with a dam in a very beautiful surrounding, however not so easy to get there and there are very few cafes and swimming did not seem possible, (some guides told it was - but at least we did not see anyone swimming on a hot summer day) also the infrastructure there is not in a very good condition.

Shima Blue is a local reference to the crystal-clear blue color of this lake. I recommend visiting, even if just for a short time, or circling around it either by bicycle or car.

If you’re a nature enthusiast, definitely worth visiting in the summer for a short getaway or a fun kayaking adventure! Photos taken from Akazawa Bridge on 2023/7/4 Recommend: 1. Driving up Akazawa Bridge 2. Couple stops at the observations decks along the way, soaking up the view 3. Shimagawa Dam: for snacks, foot bath

It is a beautiful lake and you could technically walk around it but you will be on the street where the car goes. It might be ok if u are on the bike but I decided not to go for a walk cuz I prefer walking in the nature and not a car street. Lake itself is pretty but not the best. I might have had better experience if I had a bike.

You don’t see much of the lake if you walk around it, and you are walking on roads most of the time. It takes an hour and 20 to make the loop. There is free parking just next to the dam. No onsen by the lake.

If you’re nearby come look but it can done within 10 minutes

Nice lake for a short paddle, but can get very busy on weekends in the summer.

Good place to visit.

Great little museum to visit and see some local history.

(Translated by Google) The museum building itself is a former elementary school building that was completed in 1888 and has been designated as an important cultural property by the prefecture. There are displays in the classrooms of the school building, allowing you to feel the atmosphere of those days. The exhibition itself has a lot of information, and if you look at it carefully, it will take you so long that you won't believe it's a town museum. Some of them are important cultural properties of the country. I thought it might be a good idea for people who like history and culture to visit several times. (Original) 博物館の建物自体が明治18年完成の旧小学校校舎で県の重要文化財に指定されています。校舎の教室に展示がされており当時の雰囲気を感じることができます。 展示自体も情報量が多く、もしじっくり見ると町の博物館とは思えないほど時間を要します。国の重要文化財のものもありました。歴史や文化が好きな人は何度か分けて訪れるのもありかと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I went there to learn about ninjas, but there was so much information and exhibits covering the entire period from the Jomon period to the Showa period that I couldn't see it all in just an hour and a half. I highly recommend it. (Original) 忍者関連の情報目当てで行きましたが、縄文から昭和まで全体にわたって情報量も展示も多く、1時間半では見きれないほどでした。とてもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Nakanojo History Museum: In just under an hour, you can tour the period from the Jomon period to the early Showa period. (Original) 中之条の歴史の資料館 小一時間で縄文時代から昭和初期の時代巡りができました。

(Translated by Google) 2024.9 The admission fee is only 200 yen, but it's a great sight to see. (PayPay can be used) There were many interesting exhibits divided by theme and era. Since it was a public holiday, there were quite a few customers, and everyone took their time to admire the show. I didn't have time for a quick look at the end because it was almost time for the bus, but it was a very interesting museum that I wanted to take my time to see without a time limit. —- 2025.2 revisit Despite the museum being so well stocked, there was no one there...and it was a public holiday...I thought to myself, so I reserved a private museum and spent about an hour looking around. I really enjoyed it the second time. It looks like the Hinamatsuri exhibition is about to start. Although the exhibition was small, the exhibition of tools from the Showa era was also interesting. I'll come back later. (Original) 2024.9 たった200円の入館料でものすごい見応えがあります。(PayPay使えます) 興味深い展示物がテーマや時代ごとに分けられぎっしり展示されていました。 祝日だったのでお客さんもけっこういて、皆さんじっくり鑑賞されていました。 バスの時間が迫っていたため最後はさくっと見てお暇しましたが、時間制限なく時間をかけて鑑賞したいと思える、とても面白い博物館でした。 —- 2025.2再訪 こんなに充実している博物館なのに誰もいない…しかも祝日なのに…と思いながら、貸切でじっくり一時間ほど見物しました。 二回目でもとても楽しめました。これからひな祭り展が始まるようです。 小規模展示ながら、昭和の道具展も面白かった。また来ます。

(Translated by Google) It looks like a school, and is a museum that reused the school building of the "former Azuma Third Elementary School." It was once used as a town hall, and is now a designated important cultural property of Gunma Prefecture. The entrance is in the building on the right, and admission is 200 yen for adults. Almost all of the classrooms in the two-story school building in front are exhibition rooms, and many exhibits are placed in a small space. I'm glad I went. I think the tour time is about 30 to 60 minutes. (Original) 見た目が学校で、「旧吾妻第三小学校」の校舎を再利用した博物館。一時期は町役場の庁舎にも活用されており、現在は群馬県の指定重要文化財でもあります。入口は右手の建物で入館料は一般200円。正面の2階建校舎内の教室ほぼ全てが展示室となっていて、多くの展示品が所狭しと置かれていました。行ってよかった。見学時間は、30～60分くらいが目安かな。

(Translated by Google) Various items from the filming of Japanese movies are on display in a building that used to be a wooden school building. There are also works from the Nakanojo Biennale. On April 20, 2024, I went there for the first time in a long time, and before I knew it, there was an auto campsite attached. (Original) 邦画の撮影時の色々が木造校舎を利用した建物に展示されている。また、中之条ビエンナーレの作品があったりする。2024年4月20日、久しぶりに行ったところ、いつのまにかオートキャンプ場が併設されていた。

(Translated by Google) I’m glad I was invited by the cherry blossoms to join in!! ️ (Original) 桜に誘われて入って良かった〜‼️

(Translated by Google) Isan Studio I visited you at Nakanojo Biennale (2023). (There are also works in the gymnasium on the west side.) I have visited him several times now, and each time I have enjoyed his various works. *There are restrooms at the back of the school building. (Original) 伊参スタジオ 中之条ビエンナーレ（2023）にてお邪魔致しました。 （際西側の体育館内にも作品が御座いますよ） 今までも何度かお邪魔しておりますが、毎回様々な作品に楽しませて頂いております。 ※校舎裏側にお手洗いが御座いますよ。

(Translated by Google) During the biennial Nakanojo Biennale, it is the venue for exhibitions of works. The permanent exhibition also includes a movie set for ``The Sleeping Man,'' the first film produced by a local government. It's not unusual these days for local governments to produce films, but this was the starting point. It was released in 1996, so it's been 25 years already. The Koji Yakusho in the picture on display is also quite young. There is also a movie set by Masayoshi Yamazaki. I haven't seen ``The Sleeping Man'', ``The Moon and the Cabbage'', or ``Shadow Stepping'', so I didn't really get a sense of reality from them, but I'm sure those who have seen them will be very impressed. (Original) 2年に１度の中之条ビエンナーレが会期中は作品展示の会場になります。 常設展で初めて地方自治体が製作した映画「眠る男」の映画のセットなどもあります。最近は地方自治体が映画製作するのは珍しいことではありませんが、ここが原点になっていたのですね。 1996年公開だからもう25年も前になるのか。飾ってある写真の中の役所広司も随分若いわけだ。 あと、山崎まさよしの映画のセットなどもあります。 私は「眠る男」も「月とキャベツ」も「影踏み」も全部観たことないのでいまいち臨場感が湧きませんでしたが、観た人には感動ひとしおでしょう。

(Translated by Google) I didn't stay overnight, but it has a great atmosphere, with a film museum and a town of art. It would be nice to spend a relaxing summer evening here... It would be nice. I would also like to spend the night in my car gazing at the snow in winter and have a drink while watching the snow. It's the kind of place I would love to be. (Original) 泊まりはしなかったが 映画の資料館やさすが芸術の町という感じの とても雰囲気のよいところだな。 夏の夕暮れにのんびりここで過ごしてみるのも・・・ ありだな⤴️ 冬の雪の中をながめながら 車中泊でゆっくり雪見酒なんてのも 憧れる、そんな場所だな⤴️

(Translated by Google) This place seems to have been used for filming a movie. The movie is also on display. Since it is also an RV park, we used it as a place to stay this time. Since power can be used, It is a convenient place for those sleeping in the car or in a camber van. The toilet was also kept clean. It's quite high up on the mountain, so you can spend a quiet time. Rates are cheaper than other RV parks. (Original) ココは、映画の撮影に使われたようです。 その映画の展示もしてあります。 RVパークにもなっているので今回は、宿泊先として利用しました。電源が使えるので、 車中泊やキャンバーバンの方には便利な場所です。トイレも清潔に保たれていて良かったです。結構山上の方なので静かに過ごせます。 料金は他のRVパークよりもお安く利用できます。

(Translated by Google) It's pronounced Isama, not Issan. I thought it was a facility for touring the school, but it turned out to be more like a museum displaying the movies and other materials that have been used in filming up until now. Only a part of the first floor is open to the public. (Original) いさん。ではなく、いさまと読みます。 学校を見学する施設かと思いきや、今までの撮影に使われてきた映画などの資料館みたいになってました。 見学可能な範囲も一階の一部だけです。

Just found out that there is Mount Kusatsu, I always go to the hot springs. Today we arrived at Mount Kusatsu. It's a shame because it's foggy and the weather isn't good, you can't see the sulfur, the road is being repaired, and the parking lot is closed, a little below there is a place to park, there are wild blueberries growing on the rocks, the area is really beautiful and amazing, you can feel the clouds and sky very close. I'll come again.

Great view, splendid drive.

Went there on a cloudy rainy day with mist obscuring the distance peaks. The drive up is quite scary with hair pin turns and there are sections with strong hydrogen sulphide smell coming through the cracks in the ground.

Off limits to hikers since 2018 volcanic eruption 🌋

Mt,Shirane claim from the parking about 20minutes very hard.But very beautiful lake waiting for you.the lake color emerald green very beautiful!

Beautiful

This Place Is Heaven of Earth to Me..❤️

We found ourselves facing a shortage of manpower, which made things a bit challenging. Navigating the area was particularly tricky for us as foreigners.

This a great petting farm to visit with the kids on a nice day. It can get expensive though with the fee to pet each animal at multiple stations though. My kids enjoyed it, so I guess the cost is irrelevant. Oh avoid the Game Center area, because once the kids gravitate towards that well, they will just want to stay there. I just tried to redirect their attention the best I could lol

Entrance tickets is ¥1500 (adult). There's vege for the animals for sale in the farm at ¥400/cup. Rabbit and guinea pig petting at ¥700/10mins. Quite pricey, and there wasn't much animals. Mostly sheeps and rabbits. Animals are quite well-managed tho! Clean!

Good place for kids but the opening hours are too short while the events and shows schedule are not frequent. In-door grill of beef is also good lunch. Worth to buy the combo.

It is not a very cheap place to visit, but I suppose it would be a fun way to spend time together, particularly if you have children. Parking is free but in addition to the entrance fee, every single attraction costs extra money. So if you have the time to visit every attraction, it may be worth it to invest in the all access pass. The ice cream and the moumou is deliciousness that is a must-have at this park. Walking the goats around is also pretty fun.

Came here on a kindergarten field trip. It was cute and my sons enjoyed it, but everything inside costs extra money - even the petting areas

Very beautiful in fall season, we had a wonderful day, you can enjoy a barbecue offer also

Good side trip from Kusatsu Onsen. Take the bus or walk the trail to the moss area. We chose to walk the trail heading back and saw the nice little shrine on the way.

This natural park features a fountain of hot spring water that supports a kind of moss adapted to living in the acidic water. It looks beautiful when the weather is rainy and cool, but unfortunately I went in mid-August after a historic hot and dry spell, so most of the moss had gone dormant or died back. It's still a beautiful location and there are trails that go off from here to internationally recognized wetlands in the mountains. As far as I know, you need a car to get here and finding it can be a bit tricky. Parking is free but there is a charge for entry of 500 yen if I remember. A shuttle bus is available from the visitor center to the moss area, but the 30 minute walk through the forest is easy and beautiful itself. A small shop at the entrance sells local products and ice cream. Although it doesn't seem too touristy yet, there were a number of foreign visitors -- I just hope it doesn't become overrun with horrible bus tours.

I suggest this is a must visit if you travel to Kusatsu village. A bit of drive from the village but believe me it worth the effort. The place still not very touristy. So you can have your solitude walking there. Very very nice, i love it.

I learned for the first time about a moss called Schistosoma nigricans. It seems that this moss absorbs iron and creates iron ore, and I was reminded of the wonder of living things.

ReFRESHING LATE SUMMER TIME /FROM INFORMATION AND TICKET CORNER /600yen EACH PERSON TO ENTER THIS PLACE FOR SHORT HIKINGCOURSE&FALLS VIEWING ,ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE,BUY HIKING OR YOU CAN RIDE A BUS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE ,NICE PLACE FOR BREATHTAKING !

awesome

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time after hearing that this rare moss was in full bloom. Apparently, it's the only moss that grows in colonies where hot springs gush forth. The area smelled of sulfur and steam was rising. The water was clean but had a strong sulfur content, and no fish or other living creatures were to be seen. After paying the entrance fee at reception, I boarded a minibus, got off, and walked up the steep slope. There were walking sticks available to borrow where you get off the bus, so we recommend that elderly people use one. There are no toilets at the colony, so be sure to use one before getting on the bus. (Original) 珍しい苔が見頃と聞いて、初めて訪問しました。 温泉が涌き出る場所に群生している唯一の苔だそうです。 辺りは硫黄の匂いが漂い、湯気が出ていました。 水はきれいですが硫黄分が強く、魚をはじめ、生き物は見当たりませんでした。 受付で入場料を支払い、マイクロバスを利用し、降りてから徒歩で急な坂を登ります。 バスを降りた所に貸し出し用の杖がありますので、年配の方は利用をお勧めします。 また、群生地にはトイレがありませんので、バスを乗る前に済ませておきましょう。

One of the highlights of Nakanojo. Beautiful spot to take pictures and view flowers. The rose garden in October is beautiful and well maintained. The cherry blossoms in spring are also gorgeous. The entire hillside is lined with sakura trees so there’s no shortage of cherry blossoms to be seen.

I went on a Monday afternoon at the end of July, and the gardens were pretty dead, which was perfect because it was like I had the whole place to myself. The weather was cloudy, which gave the pictures moody and melancholic feel.

Beautiful Rose Garden. I came in Autumn, I think spring is better with cherry blossoms and apricot flowers. It takes 2 hours and 30 minutes from my place to Nakanojo.

A beautiful botanical garden nestled in the mountains of Nakanajo city. You can enjoy a nicely planned rose garden, beautiful hydrangeas, and a neat little circular maze garden. The flowers are great in summer, but don't neglect fall when the apple orchards next door are in full fruit. There are also several small food and drink stalls around the grounds. The Rose Cafe in particular offers good coffee at a decent price to drink whie watching the roses. There is also a gift shop where you can purchase various goods made in Gunma. This includes jam and tsukemono pickles made by a company located just down the street. If you are headed up to Shima onsen this garden is definitely worth an hour of your time.

This place a must see on your way to kusatsu …one of the best natural gardens in japan 👌 🇯🇵

Its very spacious but i think spring will be awesome in this place. Very clean 😊

Amazing!

This is the highest point of all public roads in Japan, situated in Gunma prefecture and a short distance from Nagano prefecture's boarder. This point is 2,172m from sea level and a few kilometers away from Yokoteyama Shibutoge Ski area, (which is worth a visit during autumn especially on a clear day).

The view is spectacular ' it can get really crowded but the ride is just worth it !

Route 292 highway is not too difficult and scenic, weather permitting you can see great views en route Shiga on clear/sunny days. Do check ahead if highway is open before heading up, to 2200m highest point on Japan highways which is not too far 1/2hour. Usually not crowded, there are ‘rest stops’ at scenic view lookouts but no toilets. Closer to 2200m near mountain pass (head in the clouds), visibility may drop drastically on overcast days, when you find yourself driving in the clouds with close to zero sight its time to head back slowly or seat it out (warning :).

Really nice drive if you have time in your trip for it. Part of the road was closed due to volcanic activity, but it was still really scenic. A few places to stop and get photos.

Great landscape and wonderful drive from Manza to the Monkey park. Not to be missed u less you are afraid of height. The stretch of road of about 5km along the ridge line allow a panorama view of the Nagano and Gunma Prefectures.

Neat to say we’ve driven on the highest peak of Japan’s National Roads. Seems to be a popular spot for cyclists and drivers alike. The views of surrounding mountains are stunning. You can see Kusatsu Onsen from here as well. The pull-off for the highest point is quite small, so it will be crowded during holidays. There are many other pull-offs at other points in the road on the way up to the highest point though. In late April/early May there is a snow corridor section along the road. The closest restroom is in the Shibutoge Hotel, and they request donations/purchases to use the restroom. What’s fun about the building is its half in Gunma and half in Nagano.

Refreshing atmosphere and awesome view!! The roads are great as driving course as you will basically be driving on top of hills.

Good view but a hard place to get there.., there are some bells to avoid bears in the forest. When we were tracking, another group said that they saw a small bear..

Drove by where Google maps took us but the entrance was blocked and there was no parking either.

Lovely walk down hill to a stunning waterfall. Autumnal leaves were spectacular and glimpses of the valley through them. A nice diversion from the busy town... an onsen to relax after the walk? Actual name is Ousen waterfall

There is nothing there at the given location.

(Translated by Google) If you use a navigation system, you can only get there if you access from the east. Park your car in the parking lot and walk for 20 minutes (outbound) and 40 minutes (up). There are ski poles at the entrance, so you should use them. I think it's best to wear sneakers at least for your feet. (Original) ナビを使う場合は、東からのアクセスにしないとたどり着けません。駐車場に車を置いて、往路(下り)20分、復路(上り)40分の歩きです。入り口にスキーのストックがおいてありますので、使った方がいいです。足は最低スニーカーが望ましいかな。

(Translated by Google) wonderful. The autumn leaves are spectacular in the area of ​​maple trees. I guess Ousen is my aunt's hermit. (Original) 素晴らしい。 カエデの群生地で紅葉見事。 オウセンはおばさんの仙人といういみかな。

(Translated by Google) I'm glad I went. It's about 30 minutes on the way out. A zigzag path descends through the forest with good visibility. I was told to be careful of bears, so I attached a bell and struck the stock from time to time. Wearing rain boots was the best way to get to the waterfall. Isn't it common for rocks to turn red due to iron-rich water? I think so. (Original) 行って良かったです。往路で30分位かな。ジグザグの道で見通しいい林を下って行きます。熊に注意と言う事なので、鈴をつけて、時々ストックを打ちならしました。滝の元まで行くには長靴が正解でした。鉄分の多い水で岩が赤くなっているのはあまり無いかな？と思う。

(Translated by Google) It's suddenly snowing and the whole world is covered in silver... The roads around Okushima Dam are one-way, so I couldn't turn back, so I kept going, but there was a light layer of snow, so I was nervous as I drove on summer tires. The waterfall is just a short walk from the parking lot! Unfortunately, I could only see it from the side, and the trees were blocking my view. (Original) 急に雪が降ってきて一面銀世界に… 奥四万ダム周辺の道路は一方通行なので引き返すわけにもいかず進みましたが雪がうっすら積もって夏タイヤでドキドキしながら運転しました💦 滝は駐車場から歩いてすぐです！ 残念ながら横からしか見えず、木が邪魔してよく見えませんでした。

(Translated by Google) As I walked along the road, I was a little worried, but suddenly I saw a sign. There was a parking lot for a few cars. It was only 2-3 minutes to the waterfall, and I couldn't see the whole picture...too bad. I could hear the sound, so it must be cool (^^♪ On the way there, I encountered a group of monkeys. Is it safe? I passed by without opening the window just to be sure. There were also people who came by bicycle (I passed them by). *It was electric. (Original) ちょっと不安になる道を進んでいくと突然に看板があった 数台の駐車場がある 滝まではほんの２～3分で全貌は見えない・・・残念 音が聞こえるので涼し気かな(^^♪ 行く途中でサルの群れに遭遇 安全？念のため窓は開けずに通過しました そーそー自転車で来られている方もいました（すれ違った） ※電動でした

(Translated by Google) This waterfall is located in the deepest part of Lake Okushima. There is a parking lot on the side street to the left from the loop course. It was so close that you could hear the waterfall from the parking lot. The waterfall was cascading down with white water spray, giving a very good sense of scale. You can see it quite closely, but because of the protective fence, you can only see the scenery from the side. It was a pity that I couldn't see it from the surface. (Original) 奥四万湖の１番奥まった所にある滝です。 周回コースから左の脇道に入った所に、駐車場があります。 駐車場から滝の音が聞こえるほど、近くにありました。 滝は、白色の水しぶきをあげて勢いよく流れ落ちていて、とても良いスケール感を出していました。 けっこう間近に観ることができますが、防護柵があるため橫からの景観しか見れません。 表面から見れないのが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) It is located behind Shimagawa Dam, on a dead-end road. There is a parking lot with space for several cars, which is great! From there, walk about 10m through the grass field and you will soon reach the waterfall. Be careful, there was a big snake on the way! (Maybe a Japanese Rat Snake?) As for the important waterfall... the trees in front were overgrown and we couldn't see it at all. There was quite a drop and a flow of water, and I thought it would have been great if we could have seen it properly. It's a really disappointing point! (Original) 四万川ダムの奥、 行き止まりの道の途中にあります。 駐車場は数台が停められるスペースが用意されていてGood！ そこから10mくらい草っ原を歩いていくとすぐに滝があります。途中に大きな蛇がいたので気をつけて下さい！(多分、アオダイショウかな？) 肝心の滝ですが・・・ 手前にある木々が生い茂ってて、全く見えませんでした。落差や水流は結構あって、ちゃんと見れたらとても良いと思ったのですが。 メチャクチャ残念ポイント！

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot near the waterfall that can park 7 or 8 cars, and from there you can see the waterfall in one minute by walking along the information signboard. There is a fair drop, and the river and waterfall basin flowing below are as blue as Lake Okushima. It is a beautiful and clear light blue. I went during the autumn leaves season. The blueness of the waterfall water The contrast of colors such as red, vermilion, orange, and yellow of the autumn leaves is wonderful. The parking lot is located on the Okushima Lake excursion road, where you will see a sign saying ``Rhododenage Falls.'' If you turn there (or go straight?) you will be able to get there. (Original) 滝のそばに7、8台停められる駐車場があり、そこからは案内の看板に沿って歩いて一分で拝める事ができる滝です。 落差もそこそこあり、下を流れる川や滝壺は奥四万湖の青さのように 綺麗で透き通った水色です。 紅葉の時期に行きましたが 滝の水の青さと 紅葉の紅、朱、橙、黄などの色彩のコントラストが素晴らしいです。 駐車場の場所は奥四万湖の周遊道路を走っていれば「しゃくなげの滝」と看板が出ているので そこを曲がれば(もしくは直進？)辿り着くことができるでしょう。

(Translated by Google) Last year, I saw beautiful autumn leaves, so I was curious to see the new greenery and decided to come here. Nearby, hydrangeas were quietly blooming. (Original) 昨年綺麗な紅葉が見られたので新緑が気になり来てみました。 近くにはひっそりとアジサイの花が咲いていました。

(Translated by Google) When I parked my car in a parking lot near the Oku-Shima Lake tour road and started walking, a couple who had walked down from the top kindly told me, ``There's a parking lot near the waterfall, so you don't have to walk, you can go by car.'' "It was a nice waterfall," he said. We got back in the car and headed to Rhododendron Falls. It was a "nice waterfall". The parking lot by the waterfall is not very big. It looks like there's a dead end beyond that. (Original) 奥四万湖の周遊道路のそばのパーキングに車を停めて歩いて行こうとしたら、上から歩いて降りて来られたご夫婦が「滝のそばに駐車場があるから、歩いて行かなくて、車で行っても大丈夫だよ。」と親切に教えてくださった。 「いい滝だったよ。」とも言われた。 再び車に乗り、しゃくなげの滝に向かいました。 「いい滝」でした。 滝のそばの駐車場はそれほど大きくありません。 その先が、行き止まりのようです。

200 JPY/ person. Practically empty as maybe it’s due to the snowing. Place is as per attached pics

Goodplace for taking picture.. entrance is only 200.. If you have artistic creative photography skills.. this place is also good for prenup photo venue

A nice, simple old and now closed train station out in nowhere.

Have to pay to go in. We didn’t. 😁

Small museum housed in the station, filled with photographs and RR tools. I spent 2 hours there, mostly photographing the structure and freight cars outside.

Old station 🚉 so cute 😊

30.Oct.2022.

It was ok. It’s free, so that’s great. Visiting out of season right now isn’t that great. I read somewhere that the park is beautiful during August-September. So I’m sure it is something spectacular to see then. It’s worth visiting while driving through, but it’s certainly not a destination. There are three parking areas. Access to the park is easy. Please enjoy your visit.

Nice quiet garden with a gift shop selling dried flowers and various knick knacks, as well as a small cafe. Good place for a short rest driving through this region.

Absolutely beautiful nice place to chill.

(Translated by Google) It makes use of the mountain slope and doesn't feel like a botanical garden or anything, but rather like the plants are there naturally, which is a nice touch. From the parking lot, it's a light climb of about 80-100m to the very back of the site or to the top. The view from there is a panoramic view of the whole of Karaku no Sato and the opposite mountain, Mt. Arikasa, so if you have the energy, it's worth climbing up to see it. There were a lot of hydrangeas planted, so maybe that's a good time to visit. When I visited, it was outside of flowering season, so it felt a little lonely. There is a wide variety of dried flowers for sale inside the building, and I thought it would be a good place to purchase materials for those interested in that hobby. There are also classes available. Light snacks are also available. I didn't eat any, though (Original) 山の斜面を利用しての、植物園かな庭園というほど手入れがされている感じもなく自然にそこに植物がある感じなのが、いい感じです。 駐車場から敷地の一番奥や、頂上まで登ると軽い山登り80m〜100m位登ります。 そこがから見える景色は、花楽の里全体と向いの山、有笠山等が一望できるので、体力に余裕があれば登って見るのも良いと。紫陽花が多く植えられていたのでその頃が良いのかな。 訪れた時は、花のシーズンではなかったので若干淋しい感じでした。 建物内で販売されている、ドライフラワー等が種類豊富でそれらの趣味の人達には素材購入に適している場所だなと思いました。教室もありました。 軽食も楽しめます。食べなかったけど

(Translated by Google) Flower Materials & Natural Garden Visited on 2025/6/21. The sound of the cicadas is refreshing. It's great that admission is free (^-^) You can just stroll around, go to the cafe, eat, get flower materials, etc. There are many ways to use it (^-^) I strolled around and went to the cafe. It seems that edelweiss is in full bloom now. Personally, I was glad to see the kniphofia (Japanese lantern lily) in bloom. The abundance of dried flowers and flower materials is also good for creative people (^-^) I wish there were more types of vases. I had hot coffee and gelato (made with elderflower, the world's oldest herb) at the cafe. The gelato has a refreshing flavor and really tastes like Muscat. It's worth visiting this place on its own, even if you visit Nakanojo Gardens together with the restrooms (^-^) * Though there are toilets and a parking lot, and the shop and cafe are easily accessible, the garden itself is on a slope, so whether you can get around it or not depends on assistance. (Original) 花材&自然派ガーデン 2025/6/21に訪れました。 ハルゼミの声が爽やか。 入場自体は無料なのは有難いですね(^-^) 散策だけでも、カフェ、食事、花材調達等々。 ご利用方法は様々(^-^) 私は散策とカフェ。 今はエーデルワイスが見頃だそう。 私的にはクニフォフィア(シャグマユリ)が咲いてるのが見れたのが良かったです。 ドライフラワーや花材が豊富なのも、創作される方には良いですね(^-^) 花瓶の種類がもっと多かったら欲しかったなぁ。 カフェでホットコーヒーとジェラート(世界最古のハーブことエルダーフラワーのもの)を頂きました。 ジェラートは爽やかな風味で本当にマスカットのよう。 中之条ガーデンズとセットでも、こちらだけでも訪れてみては医科がでしょう(^-^) ✳おもいやりトイレ、駐車場は完備されていて売店やカフェは気軽に利用出来ますが、ガーデン自体は傾斜があるので周れるかどうかは介助次第になります。

(Translated by Google) A flower paradise suddenly appears on a mountain path🌸✨ The garden is maze-like, but it's not so large that you'll get lost, and it feels like a leisurely stroll! There are probably a lot of insects, depending on the season🐝 But I think it's great to enjoy this as part of nature's work👌 There are lots of dried flowers inside the building😆 In the back, there's a dried flower arranging experience, and I personally think I could spend the whole day there without getting bored, lol. For dried flower lovers, this is a truly magical place💐 They also sell them at reasonable prices, so you might end up buying too much... It was a wonderful, relaxing space✨ (Original) 山道に突如として現れるお花の楽園🌸✨ 園内は迷路みたいになっていますが、迷うほどの広さではなく軽いお散歩感覚で回れました！ 季節によってとは思いますが、虫は多いと思います🐝 しかし、これも自然の営みとして楽しめればいいのかなと思います👌 建物の中には、ドライフラワーがたくさんあります😆 奥にはドライフラワーアレンジメントの体験などがあり、個人的には1日中やっていても飽きなさそうでした笑。 ドライフラワーが好きな人にとっては幸せ過ぎる空間です💐 お手頃な価格での販売もしているので、ついつい買いすぎてしまいそうです…。 素敵な癒しの空間でした✨

(Translated by Google) We happened to stop by here on August 13th while traveling in Gunma, or rather, while taking a bathroom break for the kids. (Since there seemed to be nowhere to rest on Route 55?) But what is this place?! My whole family was amazed and surprised to find a shop decorated with such beautiful dried flowers. As an amateur, it really looked like another world or a movie set to me. We had a delicious lunch, and my family bought wreaths and other items. We wanted to explore the backyard, which is reminiscent of the 1993 film "The Secret Garden," but unfortunately we didn't have time. It seems like it's not even featured in Mapple, so it felt even more like we'd discovered a hidden gem. Thank you. (Original) 8/13群馬の旅行中、というか子供のトイレ休憩にたまたま立ち寄らせて頂きました。 (55号線て休めるとこがない？ので) ところが何ここ！？と家族みんなで目を丸くるほど素敵なドライフラワーで飾られたお店でした。 素人の私にはほんとに別世界か映画のセットのようでした。 ランチも美味しく頂き、家族もリースとか色々購入しました。 さながら93年の映画「秘密の花園」のような裏庭も散策したかったのですが、時間の都合でできなかったのが残念でした。 まっぷるにも掲載されていないようでしたので、なおさら穴場スポットを見つけた気分になりました。 ありがとうございました。

We went here by walking since it was snowing. Bicycle rentals were not available when its snowing. Even without the usual blue waters. The view was still so breathtaking. Loved how the surrounding was covered with snow. The pure white view was a sight to see too. Would love to revisit again in a different season to see the shima blue color.

We stumbled on this dam - it has in my view one of the most scenic view there -you will see lake okushima which as this beautiful blue coloured water and mountain behind it . Really wonderful to be there today

2023.04.06 This is a lake with 6 parking spaces around. You can travel around by little car in less busy hours. Beautiful scene. Should be better later of the day when the sky is brighter.

Built in 1999, Shimagawa Dam is a great place to spend the day. 3-4 hours can easily be spent here. There’s picnic tables in 4-5 stopping locations around the dams loop. There’s a kids park. There’s many scenic areas for great pictures. The water is blue and the air is fresh. Parking is all over the loop, so there’s no need to panic and park your car in the first spot you see. Have fun!

It wasn’t as “blue” as I expected to be, but it was a nice quick stop. The parking is limited and one way street to go around the lake. There is a nice cafe by the parking spot. Nice 10-15min walk. Might be better view if the weather was nicer.

Photos taken just after Christmas. Scenery is stunning as you can see. Btw, this place has wifi, can you believe it?!

Amazing views and water color!

I saw some kind of animal from the dam

Cool place to visit for dam fans

(Translated by Google) Dam tour: Gunma-Shinaki Dam. (202410M) Gravity type concrete dam, height 43.5 meters, crest length 106.0 meters. A multipurpose dam built on Yukawa, Tone River system, for the purpose of river maintenance and power generation. The dam lake, Joshu Yunoko, is characterized by its emerald green color. This seems to be due to sulfur flowing into the water. The river water that flows into this area becomes highly acidic, and the dam is responsible for neutralizing this acidity. As a result, the Azuma River, which was once known as the River of Death, was reborn as a river full of clear fish. Dam card: Currently being distributed at Shinaki Dam Water Quality Management Office. (On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, it will be distributed at the environmental experience amusement facility in the same management office.) (Original) ダム巡り：群馬-品木ダム。（202410M） 重力式コンクリートダム、 高さ43.5メートル、堤頂長106.0メートル。 利根川水系湯川 に建設された 河川維持・発電 を目的とした多目的ダム。 ダム湖の上州湯の湖はエメラルドグリーンが特徴的。 これは硫黄が流れ込んでいるためだそうだ。 ここに流れ込む川の水は強い酸性となり、それを中和させる機能をダムで担っている。 それにより死の川と呼ばれた吾妻川は魚の澄める川に生まれ変わったそうだ。 ダムカード：品木ダム水質管理所 にて配布中。(土日祝は同管理所内の環境体験アミューズメント内で配布)

(Translated by Google) 20250510 I went there for the first time. It is located quite low from the water quality improvement center. It is quite far down from the national highway. There are trees and it is not visible from the parking lot halfway up the slope. What I saw and felt when I went there. The lake surface is murky. The area of ​​the lake is smaller than I thought. The valley is deep. Looking from the left bank, you can see the flow from Kusatsu in the distance. What I thought was that if the water quality is not improved, the dam will not last. There are neutralization plants other than Kusatsu. Is the valley deep because it is highly acidic? Is there enough capacity to store and lift the sediment? Also, how do they handle the solidified sediment? Are they using the lifting facility on the side of the management office? And so on. There were many. But Nakanojo Town is large. It spreads all the way to Shibu Pass. Is this the former Rokugo Village? I gave a dam card to someone who happened to be with me. When I told him that the Yamba 1 million card was still being distributed, he was happy to go right away. (Original) 20250510初めて行った。水質改善所からだいぶ低い場所にある。国道からずいぶん降りた。坂の途中の駐車場からは木々があり、よく見えない。行って見て、感じたこと。湖面が濁っていとこと。湖の面積が思っていたより狭いこと。谷が深いこと。左岸から見ると、奥に草津からの流れが見える。 考えることは、水質改善しないと、ダムが持たない。中和工場は、草津の他にもある。谷が深いのは、酸性が強いから？沈殿物を貯めて引き上げための容量があるか？また固まった沈殿物をどう処理するか？管理所の側の引き揚げ施設使っているのか？等々。沢山あった。 しかし、中之条町は、広いね。渋峠まで広がっている。ここは、元六合村？ たまたま一緒になった人にダムカードを上げた。八ッ場の100万人カードがまだ配布されていると教えたら、すぐ行くと喜んでいた。

(Translated by Google) On the way to Chatubomi Goke Park, we passed through a dam lake. The dam lake was emerald green. According to the information signboard, the role of this dam is not to generate electricity or store water, but to neutralize highly acidic water. It seems that once the azuli is stored, it is neutralized by adding lime and then released. (Original) チャツボミゴケ公園に向かう途中、ダム湖を横断する形で通過しました。ダム湖はエメラルドグリーンでした。案内看板によるとこのダムの役割は発電や貯水という目的ではなく、酸性度の強い水の中和とのことです。一度瑞を貯めてから石灰を入れることで中和をしてから放流するのだそうです。

(Translated by Google) The color of the water in the dam lake is amazing. The dam card is available inside the facility in Kusatsu Onsen. (Original) ダム湖の水の色がすごいです。ダムカードは草津温泉の中の施設内にあります。

(Translated by Google) The lake water is extremely acidic due to sulfide ions from Mount Kusatsu-Shirane dissolved by rainfall, but this is neutralized with lime emulsion, making the water surface appear green. (Original) 草津白根山の由来する硫化イオンなどが、降雨で溶け出すことなどにより極度の酸性を帯びた湖水を石灰乳液で中和させているため水面がグリーンに見える。

No blue water and there is a construction work nearby.

At this time of year, all the beautiful blue water was very low so the main thing you notice is the construction work on the dam.

Momotaro falls - good stop on the way, got to climb some steps down. It's really blue, maybe due to deep waters. Beautiful spot

As other reviews said, construction prevents you from seeing the waterfall :(

Cool spot with a river that runs sky blue! Thought it was exceptionally beautiful besides the massive dam...

(Translated by Google) We descend narrow steps that make it difficult to pass each other. The waterfall is far away and the nearby trees are a bit of an obstacle... it's hard to see very well. It doesn't seem like it's really worth seeing... (Original) すれ違い困難な細い段をくだっていきます。 滝が遠く、近くの木々も多少邪魔になり‥なんだかよく見えません。 あまり見る価値はないような‥。

(Translated by Google) The intake gate is more impressive than the waterfall... (Original) 滝より取水門のほうが存在感ありすぎて、、

(Translated by Google) We were able to view the terraced waterfall from two types of bridges. It looks like it would be a beautiful scenery if there is snow, and it looks like it would be nice in summer and fall as well. This is also the entrance to Taruhime Literature and Nature Village, and you can enjoy a walk around the area. (Original) 段々になった滝を2種の橋から眺めることができました。 積雪があれば見事な風景になりそうです、夏や秋もよさそうですね。 こちらは多留姫文学自然の里の入口にもなっており、ここ周辺の散策を楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) A spring landscape of new greenery and a small waterfall☘️ This waterfall is located in a peaceful and relaxing place where the rural scenery spreads at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains☝️ In front of the waterfall stands Tarumihime Shrine⛩️, which attracts many worshippers and tourists🙏 Cross the suspension bridge🌉 and you can see the beautiful waterfall, which is small but has a fair amount of melting snow❄️ and rainwater from the Yatsugatake Mountains flowing✨ There is a small stone bridge like a sedimentation bridge under the suspension bridge, but there is no handrail, so be careful when crossing⚠️ The deity of the shrine named after the waterfall is the child of Takeminakata-no-kami, the deity of Suwa Taisha Shrine, A shrine dedicated to Princess Taruhime⛩️ Long ago, there was a legend that if you wrote down the number of bowls (tableware) you needed at the waterfall and threw a piece of paper into it, they would be placed in the basin the next morning, and after using them, you would wash them thoroughly and return them to the basin🙏 However, there is a continuation to the story, and one day a lazy person borrowed them in the same way, and thought, "It's okay not to return one❗️", and didn't return them...😅 After that, the goddess of Princess Taruhime stopped lending out bowls☝️ The waterfall at the foot of Yatsugatake, where the warm spring wind blows, was a beautiful spot with a contrast between the fresh greenery🌱 and the blue sky☀️✨ Make sure you return what you borrow lol😅 (Original) 新緑芽吹く春と小さな滝の風景☘️ この滝は八ヶ岳の麓の田園風景が広がる のどかでのんびりとした場所にある☝️ 滝の前には多留姫神社⛩️が建ち 参拝者や観光に訪れる人も多い🙏 吊橋を渡り🌉そこから眺める滝は美しく 小さいながらも八ヶ岳からの雪解け❄️や 雨水が中々の水量で流れる光景が見れる✨ 吊橋の下に沈殿橋の様な 小さな石橋がかけられているが 手すりが無いため渡る際は 相当注意して渡りましょう⚠️ 滝に付けられた名前の神社の御祭神は 諏訪大社の祭神である建御名方神 （たけみかたのかみ）の子、 多留姫（たるひめ）を祀った神社⛩️ 昔、滝に必要な分の膳椀（食器）を書き 紙を投げ入れると翌朝滝壺に置かれている 使用した後は綺麗に洗って滝壺へ返す という伝説があったらしい🙏 しかし話には続きがあり、 ある日怠け者が同じように借りて １つくらい返さなくても良いっしょ❗️ と返さなかったそう…😅 それ以降多留姫の神様は 膳椀を貸してくれなくなったと云う話☝️ 春の温かい風が吹く八ヶ岳の麓にある 滝は新緑🌱と青空☀️の コントラストが綺麗なスポットだった✨ 借りたものはちゃんと返そうねっ笑😅

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is a little hard to find. It's under an overpass, so don't make a mistake. It seems that locals take care of it, but there are some places where it's difficult to walk because of overgrown weeds, perhaps due to a lack of manpower. There are also some dark areas, so it would be better if there was a little more natural light. The waterfall is small, but the volume of water is impressive. (Original) 駐車場がやや分かりにくいです。陸橋の下なのでお間違いないよう。 地元の方が手入れしてはくれてそうですが、人手が足りないのか、雑草が生茂り歩き難い箇所も見られます。薄暗い場所も見られるので、もう少し自然光が入ると良さそうです。 滝は小さいですが水量があり圧巻です。

(Translated by Google) There is parking space for several cars under the overpass. There is a signboard near the entrance to Taruki Literature and Nature Village, so follow it and you'll reach the destination. The waterfall appears as soon as you descend to the left of Taruki Shrine, but access was prohibited due to a collapsed scaffolding. If you head there, it is at your own risk. There seem to be some areas where you can pass through, so it might be a good idea to walk along the footpath that goes around the stone monuments. It's a little-known spot with few people around. (Original) 駐車スペースは高架下に数台停められます。 多留姫文学自然の里の入口付近に 案内板があるので確認して進めばたどり着きます。 滝は多留姫神社の左手に下るとすぐ現れますが、足場が崩落で立入禁止になっていました。もし、向かう場合は自己責任ですね。通れる場所もあるようなので、石碑を巡る遊歩道を巡るといいかと思います。 人も少なめで穴場的なスポットですね。

Magical local waterfall.

(Translated by Google) Is it in a place like this? There's a small waterfall, a shrine, and a haiku path, but there don't seem to be many people, so if you're lucky, you can relax and have a private tour. There is a parking lot under the overpass. (Original) こんな所にあるの？という小さな滝と神社、それと俳句の道だけど人も少なそうで、運が良ければ貸切でゆったり出来ます。 高架下に駐車場があります。

(Translated by Google) A hidden spot. I parked my car under the highway overpass, crossed the road and headed toward the mountain. There is a shrine, and next to it there is a path that goes down to the waterfall. On the way back, cross a suspension bridge for a small attraction. This waterfall has a legend. Who is Taruhime? Please check it out. It seems that many people are worried because it's not a proper road, so when I was able to buy it, several people asked me, ``Is there a waterfall up ahead?'' or ``Where is the road to the waterfall?'' Go without hesitation. You'll find out when you go. (Original) 隠れスポット的な場所。 高速道路の高架下に車を停め、道路を渡って山側へ向かう。神社があり、その横側に滝へ降りる道がある。帰りは吊り橋的な橋を渡ってプチアトラクション。 この滝には伝説がある。多留姫とは。 調べてみてください。 ちゃんとした道でないので不安になる人も多いみたいで、買える時に何人かに「この先に滝がありますか？」とか「滝への道はどこですか？」と聞かれた。 迷わず行けよ。行けば分かるさ。

(Translated by Google) It is read as "Chikato". With the backdrop of Takeyama, the shrine grounds surrounded by shrine bushes filled with large cypress trees, facing an endless sea of ​​cedar trees, creating a solemn atmosphere that will make you forget time. The simple appearance of the shrine building, without any decorations, makes the shrine stand out in its depth... (Original) 「ちかと｣と読む。嵩山（たけやま）を背にし、檜の大木がひしめく社叢に囲まれた境内は、果てしなく続く杉の海に面していて、森厳な空気が流れ、時間を忘れる。飾り気のない質素な社殿の佇まいが、かえって深いものを際立てている…。

(Translated by Google) I have been to Takeyama Roadside Station many times, but this time I visited for the first time early in the morning ⛩️ Omotesando is up a steep staircase at the back, but you can get to the main shrine from the side from the roadside station. It was very mysterious as it was enshrined directly below Takeyama, which was worshiped as a sacred area, and was quietly standing among the dense trees. The origin of the tree is unknown, so the sacred zelkova tree, which is over 700 years old, is solemn and magical. (Original) 道の駅たけやまには何回も来ていましたが今回早朝に初訪問しました⛩️ 表参道は裏手の急な階段を上がってになりますが道の駅からは横から本殿に行けます😌 たけやまを神域と崇めて良く見える真下に鎮座鬱蒼とした木々の中にひっそりと佇んでいて非常に神秘的でした🧙 創建が不明との事で樹齢約700年以上の大ケヤキを御神木として厳かで幻想的でもありました👺🧐

(Translated by Google) 2023/12/13 Chikato Shrine. It is located at the southern foot of Mt. Takeyama, a sacred mountain located on the opposite bank of the Azuma River that flows through Nakanojo City, north of Mt. Haruna in Gunma Prefecture. The deities enshrined here are Susanoo no Mikoto and Hondawake Mikoto. The sacred zelkova tree is a magnificent tree with a circumference of 9.7m, a height of 15m (the upper part of the main trunk is dead), and an estimated age of 700 years. Suhoson is the younger brother of Amaterasu Omikami (Amaterasu), and is a ferocious yet kind-hearted god who is also famous for defeating Yamata no Orochi. He is the father-in-law of Oanamuchi, the deity enshrined at Azuma Shrine, also known as Warimiya, which is the general guardian of Azuma and is enshrined nearby. Hondabetsu no Mikoto was Emperor Ojin, the 15th emperor. Hachiman is a deity that was revered by the Genji and Taira clans, and is also the god of military fortune. No wonder it was invited to the foot of Yamashiro. On the other hand, there is something interesting about the above-mentioned solicitation of Sushoson. Could it be related to the influx of the Izumo gods into eastern Japan after the ceding of the country by the great lords? Or perhaps he prayed to Susho no Mikoto, who is said to have controlled the floods of the Hii River in Izumo, in order to prevent the Azuma River from flooding due to the huge debris flow caused by the eruption of Mt. Asama. There's no way to know it now, but Nakanojo City is a hotspot, with shrines dedicated to Izumo gods scattered here and there. The deep forest that sits facing a large mountain with jutting giant rocks seems to deeply envelop the thoughts of people since ancient times. It is convenient to use the adjacent roadside station ``Ryozan Takeyama'' for parking and toilets. Have a nice visit, everyone! (Original) 2023/12/13 ちかと神社。群馬県、榛名山の北、中之条市を流れる吾妻川対岸にある霊山、戦国の城山、嵩山(たけやま)の南麓に鎮座します。素戔嗚尊(スサノオノミコト)と誉田別命(ホンダワケ丿ミコト)が御祭神です。御神木の大ケヤキは外周9.7m、高さ15m(主幹上部は立枯れ)、推定樹齢は700年の見事な巨木です。素戔嗚尊は天照大神(アマテラス)の弟で、ヤマタノオロチを退治した事でも有名な、猛々しくも心優しい神様です。近くに鎮座する吾妻の総鎮守である和利宮こと吾妻神社の御祭神、大穴牟遅神(オオナムチ=大国主、出雲大社御祭神でもあり)の義理の父親です。誉田別命は第十五代天皇である応神天皇です。源氏や平氏から崇敬を集めた八幡神の事であり、武運の神でもあります。山城の麓に勧請されたのも頷けます。一方で前述の素戔嗚尊の勧請には興味深いものがあります。大国主の国譲り以降の、出雲の神々の東日本への流入に絡んだものなのか。或いは、浅間山噴火に起因する巨大な土石流による吾妻川の氾濫を防ぐべく、出雲の斐伊川を治水したとされる素戔嗚尊を勧請したのか。今となっては知る由もありませんが、こちらの中之条市はホットスポットのように、出雲系の神々をお祀りする神社が散見される地域となっています。巨岩の突き出た嵩山に向かい鎮座しているその深い森は、太古からの人々の思いを、深く覆い包んでいるかのような存在です。 駐車場やトイレは隣接する道の駅「霊山たけやま」の利用が便利です。 それでは皆様良いご参拝を!

(Translated by Google) Visit the shrine for the goshuin, which you can get at the roadside station next door for 300 yen. There was no parking lot, so I parked at the roadside station. (Original) 御朱印目当てで参拝、御朱印は隣の道の駅で書き置きタイプで300円でいただけます。 駐車場は無く道の駅に駐車させていただきました。

(Translated by Google) This is a photo of the temples, etc. near Shinto Shrine. Dosojin is cute!! ️ The old stone Buddha was also properly enshrined and I felt the faith of the local people. (Original) 親都神社付近のお堂等の写真です。道祖神が可愛い‼️ 古びた石仏もきちんとお祀りして有って地域の方の信仰心を感じました。

(Translated by Google) I parked at the roadside station Ryozan Takeyama and visited. There were what looked like frames made of red wood everywhere in the precincts, giving the place a different atmosphere than an ordinary shrine. It might be helpful if you could explain something. (Original) 道の駅霊山たけやまに駐車し訪れました。 境内には至る所に赤い木でできた枠のようなものがあり、普通の神社とは違った雰囲気の場所でした。何か説明があると親切かもしれません。

(Translated by Google) There is also a sacred mountain trail, and the shrine is located below it facing south. The mountain in front is beautiful. (Original) 霊山登山道もあり、その下に南方面を向いて鎮座しています。前方の山が綺麗だ。

Peaceful gurgling waterfall surrounded by greenery. Though the surroundings are relatively compact and there isn’t a trail running along the stream, it’s a lovely place to sit, relax, and soak up those negative ions. Definitely worth stopping by.

(Translated by Google) If you walk a short distance from the parking lot where you can see Koizumi Falls, there will be an information sign. I was wondering how difficult it would be to get to Oizumi Falls, but it wasn't all that difficult except for the iron stairs leading down from the information sign to the sidewalk. This waterfall is said to be the perfect place to conclude a walking event. (Original) 小泉の滝が見える駐車場から少し歩くと案内看板が設置されています。大泉の滝までの行程がどの程度大変なのかと思っていましたが、案内看板から歩道へ下りていく鉄の階段がひやっとしそうだっただけであとはそれ程大変ではありませんでした。この滝は散策するイベントの締めくくりになる場所だそうです。

(Translated by Google) The waterfall was full of negative ions and was very cool and refreshing. However, the path down from the road to the waterfall is like an animal trail, so the footing is poor. The slope is also steep, so elderly people and those wearing heels might not want to go. (Original) 滝はマイナスイオンいーっぱいでとっても涼しくて気持ちよかったです。 が…道路から下りての滝までの道は普通の獣道みたいで足場は悪いです。 勾配もキツく、お年寄りやヒールの方はやめた方がよいかも

(Translated by Google) This place is quiet with few people, the waterfall is very beautiful and the water is really blue! If you are near Shima Onsen, this is a place you should definitely visit. (Original) この場所は人も少なくて静かだし、滝もすごくきれいで、水の色が本当に青いんです！四万温泉の近くに行くなら、ぜひ行ってみてほしい場所です。

(Translated by Google) A waterfall in a place like this? The entrance was a bit surprising. There was a sign from the road, and after walking down what looked like an animal trail, the view was spectacular.♬.*ﾟ It can be a bit difficult for those with bad legs to descend. I went after it had rained, so I was a little scared of slipping on the stones. But the water was beautiful, and the sound of the waterfall was soothing. It was a wonderful place.♬.*ﾟ (Original) こんな所に滝ー？ って入口でした。 道から看板が出ていて獣道みたいな所を下って行くと絶景でした♬.*ﾟ 足の悪い方はちょっと下るの大変です。 雨上がりに行ったのもあり石の上が滑りそうで怖かったです。 でも水も綺麗で滝の音などに癒されてとても素敵な所でした♬.*ﾟ

(Translated by Google) There's only parking for three cars nearby. It's about a five-minute walk away. The path down to the river isn't very good, so be careful of slipping. The waterfall was super cool, so it would have been nice to have a place to sit... Some people even went down to the waterfall to take photos. (Original) 近くの駐車場は3台のみ。徒歩5分くらいでつきます。川下へ降りる道があまり良くないので滑り注意。 滝はめっちゃ涼しくて座るとこあれば良かったのにど… 滝の手前まで降りて写真撮られてる方もいました。

(Translated by Google) There's no light in the basin at the bottom of the falls in the morning, but by 3 PM, the light was in and it was a magical sight. I recommend going in the afternoon. (Original) 午前は滝つぼに光が入らないですが、15時くらいには光が入っていて幻想的でした 午後に行くのがオススメです

(Translated by Google) A quiet park. There is a mixture of hand-carved and machine-carved monuments. It's cool even during the summer day. However, there are mosquitoes, so insect repellent is a must. (Original) 静かな公園。 手彫りで彫った文字の碑と、機械彫りの碑と混在してある。 夏の昼間でも涼しい。 ただ藪蚊がいるので虫除け必須。

(Translated by Google) There are many stone monuments. A place like the tutorial stage of a game. (Original) 石碑が沢山建っている。 ゲームのチュートリアルステージみたいな場所。

(Translated by Google) I visited in early December. There were a lot of stone monuments, and I thought I'd read them out loud next time. (Original) 12月上旬に、訪問しました。石碑が、たくさんあり、今度、きっちりと読み上げて来ようと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It's wonderful to have a place so close to home where you can forget about the noise of the city and relax your soul. 🙆 (Original) 町の騒音を暫し忘れ、こんな身近な所にこんなに心が、休まる所があるなんて、素晴らしい所です。🙆
