About this spot

This lakeside park developed on the Okaya side of Lake Suwa, Nagano's largest lake, features walking paths and benches along the shoreline. The breeze from the water's surface is pleasant, and on clear days you can see the Yatsugatake mountain range and Kirigamine peaks in the distance. In summer, it's the perfect place to take a leisurely walk while enjoying the cool lakeside breeze, and it's also a beloved jogging and walking route for local residents.

Tips

Accessible on foot or by bus from JR Okaya Station. Since the lakeside is open, wearing a hat or carrying an umbrella is recommended during strong sunlight hours.

Best time to visit
