National Echigo Hillside Park (国営越後丘陵公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

One of the signature attractions of National Echigo Hillside Park is a rose garden built around the theme of fragrance. The flowers can be enjoyed over a long season from spring to autumn, and in summer you can see summer roses that keep blooming even under strong sunlight. Because the planting makes scent, rather than color, the main attraction, you can play a game with your children of leaning in close and hunting for the differences between sweet scents and fruity ones. Paths continue along the gentle contours of the hills, and just walking while taking photos makes the time fly. Moving your body in the morning before the water play makes getting into the water in the afternoon feel even better.

Tips

There is little shade during summer days, so be sure to carry a hat and drinks as you walk. Insects gather around the flowers in this season, so telling small children in advance not to reach out is reassuring. The paths are maintained so that strollers can pass as well.

Best time to visit

About 55 minutes. The morning, before the temperature peaks, is recommended
