Great views of the gorge. Pretty lakes and bogs.

We liked this place. It has nice views of the rushing gorge, really pretty hogs and lake. This is more of a 90min wall through a forest than a garden. This was the third best place to view autumn...

田母沢御用邸から憾満ケ淵に向かう途中にあった。入りたかったけど、冬季は休園とのことで閉まってました。季節のいい時にまた訪れたい。

ゴールデンウイークに訪問。暖かい日が続いたために桜は散ってしまい山野草は盛りとは言えませんでした。然しながらそこは自然の野山といった感じで春の山菜から苔まで見られ都会の植物園とは一線を画した場所となっています。ちょっと散歩のつもりで立ち寄りましたが気が付けば２時間も歩き回っていました。お子さん連れのファミリーにもデートにもお勧めできます。
