“inns” that make you feel like in the living room of your own home, and streets that make you feel like in the hallway at home. In the evenings, the atmosphere of the town becomes even more romantic in the light of the street lanterns. Enjoy staying over for a night, or two.

The oriental white storks, a Japanese Special Natural Monument, are bred and raised in the park after having gone extinct from the region.
