Takinomizu Ryokuchi, Public park in Takinomizu, Nagoya, Japan.

Takinomizu Ryokuchi is an urban green space in Nagoya's Midori Ward, opened in 1991 on a former satoyama hillside. A coppiced oak and red pine wood, a small marsh and a pond, Takinomizu Kita-ike (1,418 m²), are linked by boardwalk paths. The pond feeds the Takinomizu River, a tributary of the Tempaku River.

Takinomizu Ryokuchi opened in 1991 on the eastern hills of Nagoya, in Midori Ward, on land that was satoyama and spring-fed marsh until the area was absorbed into Nagoya in 1963 and built up from the 1970s. The pond Takinomizu Kita-ike, fed by springs, is the source of the Takinomizu River of the Tempaku system. National Route 302 opened just east of the green space in March 2011.

The name Takinomizu comes from the spring-fed pond Takinomizu-kita-ike, whose outflow forms the source of the Takinomizu River in the Tempaku river system. The pond and the small wetland that survives among the coppiced woods are what remain of the satoyama and spring-fed marshes that dotted this part of the eastern Nagoya hills until the 1960s. Visitors come in autumn to see the Shiratamahoshikusa (Eriocaulon) flowers, a species native here and listed as endangered.

There is no car park, so arrive by public transport: city bus routes from Aioiyama and Narukobuchi subway stations stop nearby. Paths, including wooden boardwalks, loop around the pond and the remaining wetland. The ground is uneven in places, so wear shoes suited to walking.

One of the ponds, Takinomizukita-ike, attracts nature watchers and photographers interested in capturing wildlife and their behaviors. This body of water provides excellent opportunities for close-up views of birds and other animals.
