Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Es un parque muy bonito, verde y frondoso. La escultura está dedicada a un personaje muy importante para la ciudad de Takayama ya que fue un militar muy destacado. Es un parque con un recorrido circular por lo que hace fácil darse un paseo por él. Lo único es que hay que subir un poco hasta llegar a él, es decir, no está en plano. Muy recomendable.
Hermoso parque con caminatas para adentrarse en el bosque. Bien señalizado y los colores de otoño son un espectáculo. Lo disfruté muchísimo, no se lo pierdan.
Lugar apartado, silencioso y confortable. Tuene un bosque cercano inmenso con infinitas posibilidades, senderos semi ocultos, estatuas, templos y muy fácil perderse en el buen sentido. Un espacio natural increíble. Mucho cuidado con las avispas en alguna zona señalizada y por supuesto con los osos.
