What makes it special
About Kakitagawa Park
- Experience the Chill at the Spring Water Plaza: At the Spring Water Plaza, you can dip your feet into the water to feel the incredible, refreshing coldness of the spring. It is a rare and precious way to feel the energy of nature directly.
- Capture the Perfect Shot from the Observation Decks: Use the 1st and 2nd observation decks to photograph the constant flow of water and the mesmerizing 'Blue Hole.' The time when sunlight hits the water is the best moment for photography.
- Stroll the Nature Paths: Enjoy a peaceful time walking along the well-maintained paths (Yatsuhashi) while being healed by the sound of flowing water and lush greenery.
- Enjoy the Changing Seasons: Whether you are looking for a cool escape in summer or want to see the seasonal shifts in flora and light, there is always something to enjoy.
- Explore the Surrounding Area: Combine your visit with nearby spots like the Shimizu Elementary School Teaching Garden to fully immerse yourself in the natural environment.
