Nagaike Ikoi no Mori Park
This park is a five-minute drive from Nakajo Interchange. The nature conservation-themed park, most of which is inside either the Forest Zone that surrounds Nagaike Pond or the Flower Garden Zone where tulips and rapeseed flowers bloom, is a place for people to learn, play, and rest. The park's facilities include a cooking area for barbeques and cookouts, a promenade for forest bathing, a rest area where you can enjoy bird songs and the changing scenery of Japan's four seasons, and a farmer's market that offers fresh local produce, flowers, and processed foods. The park hosts a Tulip Festival when its tulips bloom in mid-April.
