Ten'onkyo (天恩郷)
About this spot
A castle site remaining in the built-up part of Kameoka, on the grounds of Tanba Kameyama Castle, which Akechi Mitsuhide built as his base for the conquest of Tanba. The keep is long gone, but the stacked stone walls keep their original form and still convey the starting point of Kameoka's growth as a castle town. The grounds are managed as the headquarters of a religious organization, so a visit requires checking in at the reception desk. Ringed by trees, it is a quiet space where time passes in a way that makes you forget you are in the middle of a town. Both Nango Park and Kose Shinsui Park, visited later in the day, were originally part of this castle's outer moat, so starting here reveals how the places connect.
Season & hours
Name: 古世親水公園
Date & time: 開設期間は未発表 (例年は夏休み期間) ※常時開放の都市公園（湧き水のため通水期間の公表なし）
Venue: 亀岡市・古世親水公園
古世親水公園は、亀山城の外堀跡に整備された親水公園です。上流から湧き出た水が深さ約10cmほどの小川となって流れ、その脇に通路が続いているので、保護者は歩きながら子どもを見守れます。下流部には飛び石が置かれており、水に入るのが怖い子は石の上を渡るところから始められるのが優しい造りです。桜やコデマリなど四季の花が植えられ、夏は木立が日差しをやわらげてくれます。常時開放の都市公園で料金はかからず、湧き水を利用しているため通水期間の公表はありません。
Tips
2026年の開設期間は未発表で、例年は夏休み期間が遊びどきです。当日の水量は天候によって変わるので、出発前に亀岡市の案内で確認しておくと安心です。飛び石は濡れると滑ることがあるので、水遊び用サンダルを履いて渡ってください。更衣室の案内は出ていないため、水着は下に着ていくかタオルポンチョを用意すると着替えがスムーズです。
Tips
A visit requires checking in at the general reception desk; follow the on-site guidance for viewing hours and offerings. The grounds are a place to spend quietly, so agreeing in advance not to run makes for a calmer visit. Footing can be unstable near the stone steps and walls, so hold small children by the hand. It is within walking distance of JR Kameoka Station.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, before the sun climbs high, is the easiest time of day to walk.
