Nanasawa Shinrin Kōen

Nanasawa Shinrin Kōen, Natural park in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

Description

Nanasawa Shinrin Kōen is a forest park in Kanagawa Prefecture spread across a 180-meter elevation with cycling routes, ponds, waterfalls, and flower gardens. The layout guides visitors through different zones, each with its own character and vegetation.

History

The park was created to protect natural spaces as the region developed into urban areas. It ranks among the two largest forest parks in Kanagawa Prefecture and reflects efforts to preserve woodland for future generations.

Culture

The Morinoatorie section shows visitors how traditional Japanese ceramics are made through hands-on workshops and demonstrations by local artisans. You can watch craftspeople work and learn about techniques passed down through generations.

Practical

Complete barbecue equipment is available for visitors who book in advance, so you do not need to bring your own grilling gear. Reserving ahead ensures you can enjoy cooking without logistical hassles.

Observation points at different elevations throughout the grounds offer panoramic views of Kanagawa's landscape that shift with each season. These vantage points reveal how the surroundings transform from spring through winter.
