Kisogawa Suien (木曽川水園), Kasen Kankyo Rakuen

Flow of the course

About this spot

Kisogawa Suien is a large nature-harmony park that recreates the landscape from the mountain streams of the upper Kiso River down to the plains of its lower reaches. Waterwheel huts, restored farmhouses, rice paddies, and small streams are laid out across the grounds, and simply walking through conveys what life along the river used to be like. The trails follow the flow of the water on gentle gradients, making them easy for small children to walk. You will often spot dragonflies, frogs, and small fish, and time flies by as you hunt for creatures along the way. The Jabu-Jabu Riverbed sits partway along this trail, making the walk a perfect lead-in to the water play.

Tips

Admission is free. Shade and sun alternate along the way, so do not forget a hat and drinks. Parts of the trail are paved and parts are bare earth, which can get muddy after rain. Leaving your water-play gear on a bench near the riverbed before you set off keeps you travelling light.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. A good time slot for walking off lunch
