Gotenzan Park (五天山公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park in Fukui, Nishi-ku, spreading out at the foot of Mount Gotenzan (五天山), whose rock faces, shaped by quarrying, make a striking impression. Inside there is a large pond, broad lawns and play equipment, and the scene as you look up at the mountain has an openness that hardly feels like the same city. Shaded benches and arbors are scattered about, so families will appreciate being able to lay out a packed lunch at leisure. A walk around the pond is just the right distance for even a small child to complete. Admission is free and there is parking, so you can use the morning hours pleasantly.

Tips

Some areas of the park have little to block the sun, so bring a hat and sunscreen. Keep an eye on small children so they do not get too close to the pond. There is no permanent shop, so preparing a packed lunch and drinks in advance is reassuring.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 10 minutes. Having lunch near the shaded arbors is the most comfortable option
