◾️ Kiso Sansen Park Address 📍 255-3 Aburajima, Kaizucho, Kaizu City, Gifu 503-0625 Spanning Gifu, Aichi, and Mie prefectures, Kiso Sansen Park is a sprawling national park situated along the Kiso, Nagara, and Ibi Rivers—collectively known as the "Kiso Three Rivers." It's a beautiful destination where you can take in lush nature and scenic waterfront views, while also diving into the local history and culture. With its vibrant seasonal flower beds, expansive lawns, and fun playgrounds, it’s a favorite spot for families and tourists alike. One of its biggest draws is the ever-changing floral landscape, featuring tulips in the spring and cosmos in the fall. The park also hosts various events year-round, including stunning illumination displays and flower festivals. Kiso Sansen Park is the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature at a relaxed pace. The park is divided into three districts across 13 different sites. At the Kawashima Riverside Park in Kakamigahara, you can learn all about the Kiso River's ecosystem and wildlife. In Ichinomiya, the 138 Tower Park offers breathtaking views from its 138-meter-high "Twin Arch 138." Meanwhile, at the Kiso Sansen Park Center in Kaizu, you can explore the history of regional flood control and traditional lifestyles through the observation tower and a reconstructed "Waju" farmhouse.

Experience the changing seasons of Japan through flowers blooming along the riverbanks. — traveler post in Kaizu

Experience the changing seasons of Japan through flowers blooming along the riverbanks.

Across Japan, you can find stunning spots to enjoy red spider lilies (higanbana), typically from mid-September to early October. One of the most iconic locations is Kinchakuda in Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture. Spanning about 3.4 hectares along the Koma River, roughly 5 million flowers bloom to create a breathtaking crimson carpet. In the Tokai region, the Tsuyagawa Riverbank in Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture, is a popular destination. Around 100,000 lilies bloom along a 3km stretch of the embankment, set against the scenic backdrop of the Yoro Mountains. Other notable spots nationwide include Gongendo Park (Saitama), Yakatsu River (Aichi), Inabuchi Rice Terraces (Nara), and Nanatsumori Tumuli (Oita). Since red spider lilies have a short blooming period, it’s best to check the local status before visiting. ◾️ Kinchakuda, Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture Address 125-2 Komahongo, Hidaka City, Saitama 350-1251 ◾️ Tsuyagawa Riverbank Red Spider Lilies, Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture Address Tsuya, Nanno-cho, Kaizu City, Gifu 503-0401 Additionally, red spider lilies are often found in rural landscapes, along rivers, and at ancient temples, allowing you to enjoy them alongside diverse local scenery. These spots are favorites for autumn walks and photography, with some locations even hosting local festivals and events. Stunning views Stunning view spots

Legoland Japan Resort

There are many interesting rides. Many restaurants in the theme park as well. It is easy to get to with subway. If there is a thing that needs to improve is that some shows need to have English subtitles.

We enjoyed a lot in this public aquarium! The dolphins show was particularly informative of the ecology of sea creatures.

Chiyoho Inari Shrine

Throw in fried bean curds to wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth. This Chiyoho Inari Shrine, nicknamed Little Chiyoho, is guarded by a fox messenger and is quite popular among local residents. The reason why it is so popular is not only because of its extraordinary efficacy index, but also on both sides of the shrine are the many delicacies and snacks that tourists love, such as fried pork cutlets and straw cakes. The nostalgic toy store and the local fruit and vegetable shop that my mother-in-law loved are all very popular. This pilgrimage was full of joy.
