A park named after the "Higotai," rare sapphire-blue spherical flowers that grow naturally in the highlands of Aso. The landscape opens up with the expansive highland scenery characteristic of Ubuyama Village, and views of the Aso mountain range can be seen in the distance. Learning the origin of tonight's festival name before enjoying the fireworks will make the Ubuyama Village summer festival feel even closer. The spacious grounds provide a leisurely and comfortable place for the whole family to enjoy.
Tips
About 15 minutes by car from Yamabuki Water Source. The park has little shade, so bring a hat and water. Higotai flowers are mainly in season from late summer into autumn.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 30 minutes. As evening approaches, the sun becomes gentler, making for easier walking
