🗺️ Ue-yasumi Park上堰潟公園

Located at the foot of Mount Kakuda, Kamiyama Wetland Park is a healing spot where beautiful flowers can be enjoyed in all four seasons. The park covers a vast area and features a lake that serves as a habitat for wild birds, allowing anyone who visits to spend a truly relaxing time. It takes about 10 minutes by car from Nishikambara Ward in Niigata City, or you can reach it by bus from Niigata Station, making it very convenient to access. Despite being close to the city, it boasts an area of 263,000 square meters, allowing visitors to easily enjoy the fresh air of nature. Inside the park, there is approximately 2 hectares of rapeseed flower fields and about 450 cherry blossom trees, allowing visitors to see both the vast fields of rapeseed and fully bloomed cherry blossoms in spring. The endless scenery of bright yellow and pink provides perfect photo opportunities that are sure to attract attention on social media. In summer, you can enjoy the refreshing lakeside greenery; in autumn, you can appreciate the cosmos flowers and the "straw art" created with straw bales. It is definitely a healing spot where you can enjoy flowers and scenery throughout the year. I recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the approximately 2-kilometer-long trail, where you can enjoy hiking or have a picnic. The park features cozy wooden cabins for resting and a barbecue area where you can experience the fun of grilling. There are also various playground equipment like a sliding track and rope course, making it a fun place for both families and couples to enjoy.

Located at the foot of Mount Kakuda, this park covers an area of approximately 263,000 square meters, making it quite expansive. From early to mid-April, visitors can enjoy the simultaneous blooming of cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers. There are about 450 cherry trees (with the best viewing period from early to mid-April) and a vast rapeseed flower field of around 2 hectares (with the best viewing period from early to late April). In September, the "Straw Art Festival" is held, showcasing art pieces made from straw. The park features rest areas (small cabins), a 2-kilometer walking trail, a sliding track, a rope course, a designated area for riding attractions, and a grassy plaza, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of seasonal flowers, have picnics, hike, and enjoy a leisurely day.
