Satsukiyama-park, Public park in Ikeda, Japan.
Satsukiyama Park is a hillside park in Ikeda with multiple hiking trails and viewing areas at different elevations. The paths wind through forested terrain toward several observation decks positioned to overlook the Osaka Plain below.
The park was established as a public space to preserve the natural landscape near Ikeda. Over time it was developed with trails and viewing platforms to make the hillside accessible to visitors.
The zoo section inside the park displays animals from Australia such as wombats and wallabies. Visitors can observe how these creatures are cared for and learn about their natural behaviors in a managed setting.
The best time to visit is early morning when trails are less crowded and visibility is clearest. Wear good walking shoes and bring water, especially during warmer months.
The Gangara Fire Festival takes place during summer months and traces its roots back to the Edo period. This traditional celebration is rarely seen in other regions and reflects local customs specific to this area.
