Ishikawa Forest Park

Ishikawa Forest Park is a nature park in Tsubata Town set across hilly terrain with varied gardens, forests, and open spaces. The grounds include a central lawn area and different woodland zones featuring a wide range of tree species.

The park was established in 2011 and gained international attention when a prominent musician created a dedicated forest area during a major biodiversity conference. This event helped establish the park as a conservation landmark.

The park holds cultural significance as a destination where people come to experience nature and enjoy time outdoors as a community. Walking through the grounds, you will notice how locals use the spaces for leisure, picnics, and peaceful moments in the forest.

Visitors can rent bicycles at facilities within the park to explore the extensive pathways and various zones. The grounds offer trails suitable for different activity levels, making the park accessible to most people.

The park includes a small zoo with native Japanese wildlife such as deer and monkeys that you rarely see in typical parks. There is also a pond where visitors can ride in foot-paddled boats shaped like swans.
