Kasen Kankyo Rakuen Nature Discovery Center (河川環境楽園 自然発見館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A facility near the entrance to Kisogawa Suien where you can learn about river nature. Specimens and explanations of the fish, insects, and birds that live in the Kiso River are on display, and seasonal nature-observation events and craft workshops are also held. Being indoors, it lets you spend the strong-sunlight morning hours in comfort, and it doubles as preparation for the creatures you might meet later at the Jabu-Jabu Riverbed. The exhibits are compact, small enough for young children to see everything before their attention runs out. Ask the staff and they will tell you about the day's conditions in the water park and what to look out for.

Tips

Admission is free. Hands-on programs change from day to day and some require a materials fee, so check the on-site information for that day's schedule. You can enter with a stroller. It is a good idea to use the restroom before setting off through the water park.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is most comfortable
