Himenosawa Park, Nature park in Atami, Japan
Himenosawa Park is a nature park nestled on mountain slopes in Atami with athletic facilities connected by walking paths. Approximately 600 plant species grow throughout the grounds, providing seasonal changes that visitors experience as they walk through.
The park was developed to transform natural mountain terrain at the base of Atami Pass into an accessible recreational area. This conversion created a space where the local community could enjoy both nature and athletic activity together.
The park becomes a gathering place for families during May when azalea blooms paint the slopes in shades of pink. Local tradition connects these flowers to the Children's Day celebrations that attract many visitors each spring.
The park is open daily from morning to late afternoon and requires no entrance fee to explore. Free parking is available at the entrance for both cars and buses, making arrival straightforward.
