Guida
Murose Yamagami Koen Geijutsu no Mori is a park designed based on the philosophy of the world-renowned sculptor Dani Karavana, where nature and art become one. Artistic works are strategically placed within the natural landscape, allowing visitors to experience the simultaneous evolution of scenery and art through the changing seasons and time of day. Additionally, the facility is officially recognized as a "Cycling Rest Area," making it an ideal spot to pause and recharge during a bike ride.
The park was designed with the vision of sculptor Dani Karavana to highlight the richness of the natural environment. From the initial planning stages, the layout was crafted to allow visitors to feel the passage of seasons and the beauty of nature. This transcends the function of a simple park, providing a profound artistic space. Through this design philosophy, visitors can escape daily life and experience a harmonious coexistence of nature and art.
The park features various structures that utilize the natural topography and vegetation. A particularly iconic element is the "Spiral Waterway," a monument that serves as a symbol of the park. The changing expressions of the plants throughout the seasons, combined with artistic elements that blend seamlessly into the landscape, continue to fascinate and attract visitors.
Operating hours vary by season. From April to October, the park is open until 17:00, while during March, November, and December, it closes at 16:00. While you can enjoy different natural landscapes throughout the year, visiting during the lush seasons is highly recommended. Visiting during bright daylight hours allows for a clearer and more vivid observation of the installed artworks and natural formations.
As a certified "Cycling Rest Area," this facility is a perfect addition to your cycling route. It is equipped with amenities such as bicycle parking, restrooms, and free air pump rentals, making it extremely convenient for cyclists. You can enjoy a relaxing stroll through nature or take a restful break during your cycling journey.
Located in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, the park is surrounded by a rich natural environment. Since it sits along popular cycling routes, it is commonly used as a strategic rest point. It is a popular destination for many cyclists navigating the scenic routes of the region.
Due to the vastness of the park, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and clothing. If you are cycling, it is helpful to be prepared for maintenance as there is an air pump rental service available. Please check local conditions for specific payment details or services. Additionally, please observe park etiquette to protect the natural environment and the artistic works on display.
