2026 Full-Day Course: Suisen no Oka (すいせんの丘) at Shiki no Michi Hasegawa Scenic Park (しきのみちはせがわ展望公園)

This course centers on Suisen no Oka (すいせんの丘, Narcissus Hill – Stream & Fountain) at Shiki no Michi Hasegawa Scenic Park (しきのみちはせがわ展望公園) in Tawaramoto Town, Shiki District, for a full day of play close to home. According to Tawaramoto Town's official information, the fountain is scheduled to operate from Saturday, June 13, 2026 (Reiwa 8) through Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Admission is free, and since the area has a flowing stream and a fountain, even small children can play here without worrying about water depth, which is a real relief. The 8,644-square-meter plaza is equipped with a rest area, a play equipment corner, a walking path, and a rose garden, letting you rest your body between rounds of water play. It sits at Plaza No.5 of the riverside route park Shiki no Michi Hasegawa Scenic Park, which runs along the Yamato River (Hase River) (大和川(初瀬川)), and the view along the embankment is another draw. In the morning, look up at the restored tower at the Karako-Kagi Ruins Historical Park (唐古・鍵遺跡史跡公園), known for its Yayoi-period moated settlement, and walk through ancient Tawaramoto. At lunchtime, sample local ingredients at Roadside Station Resti Karako-Kagi (道の駅 レスティ唐古・鍵), then spend the afternoon splashing to your heart's content at Suisen no Oka. It is a day that stays entirely within the same town, with little travel required.
