Ryukakuji Temple

About this spot

This old temple, said to have continued since around the Hakuho period, stands on the plateau on the north side of Lake Inbanuma. The Ryukakuji burial mound cluster spreads out around it, and the terrain and remains make clear that this area has drawn people together since ancient times. The Iwaya Burial Mound close by is a large square tomb, and standing right beside it you are struck by its height and scale. Surrounded by groves of trees, the air stays cool even in summer, making it just right for a morning walk. It is not a tourist facility with showy highlights, but the quiet time here settles the start of the day.

Season & hours

Name: 坂田ヶ池総合公園 龍の泉・渓流の径

Date & time: 開設期間は未発表 (例年は夏休み期間)

Venue: 成田市・坂田ヶ池総合公園

成田市の坂田ヶ池総合公園にある、無料の水遊び場「坂田ヶ池総合公園 龍の泉・渓流の径」です。吊り橋「龍の道」の下に、龍の頭を想わせる岩から水が湧き出る「龍の泉」があり、その水が流れていく水路が渓流の径になっています。造形に物語があるぶん、子どもは説明されなくても近づいていき、水がどこから来てどこへ行くのかを自然に追いかけ始めます。簡易プールの持ち込みはできません。開設期間は未発表で、例年は夏休み期間の開放となっているため、事前に公式の案内で確認してから向かってください。池を囲む森が木陰をつくるので、真夏でも休憩をはさみながら長く遊べます。

Tips

開設期間が未発表なので、必ず事前に確認してから出かけてください。簡易プールは持ち込めないので、遊び道具はバケツや水鉄砲など小物にしぼりましょう。岩と水路のまわりは足元がすべりやすいため、脱げにくいマリンシューズがあると安心です。森に囲まれているぶん蚊がいるので、虫よけを持っていくと快適です。

Tips

The temple grounds and the area around the burial mound have gravel and dirt paths, so comfortable walking shoes are reassuring. Grass grows thick in summer and there are mosquitoes, so insect repellent will keep you comfortable. Parking space is limited, so park according to the signs. Follow the notices and do not climb the burial mound; view it from the outside.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The morning, when the shade of the trees is deep, is especially pleasant for walking
