Sugisawa no Sawa-sugi cedar grove

Flow of the course

About this spot

This cedar grove in the Yoshiwara district of Nyuzen Town is designated a national natural monument. Water welling up at the edge of the Kurobe River alluvial fan flows across the forest floor, and within it the cedars show a distinctive form, sending branches down to the ground to take root. A boardwalk is in place, so you can walk right up beside the springs. The way the clear water flows without a sound feels cool even in summer, and you notice the air change the moment you enter the grove. Visiting after learning that the waterside plaza, the star of the day, expresses a river of spring water will change how you see the afternoon play.

Tips

Follow the signs and stay on the boardwalk. If you put your hand in the spring water, take care not to harm the plants or creatures. Mosquitoes appear inside the grove, so insect repellent makes the visit more comfortable. Check the opening hours and how to visit with the town of Nyuzen in advance.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Early morning, when the air is clear, is the coolest time to walk.
