Nanatsumori Lakeside Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a lush green park laid out on the shore of Lake Nanatsumori. Walking paths run along the lake, and you can gaze at the mountain range opposite while walking in the shade of the trees. True to the name Nanatsumori, meaning seven forests, several small mountains stand in a row, so simply counting how many you can see gives the whole family a purpose for the walk. Breezes come off the lake, so the shade feels cooler than expected even in summer. Since you want to save energy for the afternoon water play, keep the walking distance to a manageable stretch.

Tips

Insects are common in summer, so repellent and a light long-sleeved top bring peace of mind. Shops are limited, so prepare drinks in advance. Checking where the restrooms are when you arrive makes everything afterward easier. Rubbish must generally be taken home.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. The morning, with continuous shade, is the easiest time of day for walking.
