Ikutagawa Park
#thingstodo
A long expanse of a park along the east side of the Ikuta River. There are many sections. There is the Dragon water spitting fountains and Chinese pagoda at the northern end near Shin-Kobe station all the way down to the playground halfway to HAT Kobe. Some sections are paved some dirt there are plenty of benches and places to picnic. A couple of places let you access the river. There are also a couple of areas with playground equipment for the kids. The big paved area just across the street from the pagoda is great for rollerblading, teaching kids to ride bicycles, r/c cars, etc. The upper section gets especially crazy around hanami time.

Ikutagawa River's Cherry Trees
#thingstodo The cherry blossom riverbede that can be seen from Shin-Kobe Station on the Shinkansen is this Ikuta River. If you're going to see the cherry blossoms here, why don't you love Nunobiki Falls anyway? It's 20 minutes from Shin-Kobe Station. Originally, the horizontal flower road of Sannomiya was the Ikuta River, but it was replaced as it is now in the Meiji period. Therefore, there is also a loco called Shinsei Tagawa. It is an easy cherry blossom viewing spot that you can walk to Sannomiya. The ingredients for cherry blossom viewing are Daiei😋
