Lovely little lake where plenty of water birds come to visit, including swans. You can feed the birds for 100¥ too. It is quiet, peaceful and very relaxing as well.

There are lots of ducks here. You will also see swans. They are welcome you to have pictures together. They come together in one direction especially when it is feeding time. You can hear their talking and singing which is depend on your mood. You may see some flying in the sky. The place has plenty of parking spaces, and it is free for entry.

A nice experience to see so many swans. Have to come around end of the year or beginning of the year, so that you enable to see the swans here. You also can buy swan’s food at the counter which cost 100yen per packet.

Good place to visit when temperatures are cooler. Although in summer, the lake is filled with lotus plants and is beautiful, but there's probably not enough shade for large groups of people.

Spacious lake with quite a few ducks and some swans. Picturesque Sakura blossoms in the spring, as well.

It a nice place to spend some time and specially good for kids. You can also feed the ducks.

A nice place to relax and take in the scenery on a pleasant day.

so many swans & ducks. Just sit & relax here. Feels good. Peaceful & fresh air. Small play ground for kids in the back. Also, there are some peacock as well. Vehicle parking & entry is free.

(Translated by Google) It seems to fly from the end of October every year and fly north around the middle of March of the following year. When there are many, it is amazing that there are about 6000 birds. When I went there, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in mid-April and it was very beautiful. There were more than a dozen swans that couldn't fly north due to circumstances, and the ducks were swimming gracefully. There is also a parking lot, and there is a direct sales office for local vegetables in front of you. It seems that feeding can be seen around 9 and 15 o'clock. (Original) 例年10月末頃から飛来して、翌年の3月中旬頃に北へ飛んで行くようです。 多い時には6000羽程がいるとかスゴイ。 行った時は4月中旬で桜の花が満開でとても綺麗でした。 事情で北へ飛んで行けない白鳥も十数羽いましたし、鴨が優雅に泳いでいますね。 駐車場もありますし、地元の野菜等の直売所もすぐ前にあります。 9時と15時頃には餌付けが観られるようです。

It is fun to watch with so many ducks, and swan. It is also free for entry. You will see a mass when they are being feeded.

With snow

(Translated by Google) I bought waterfowl food and was feeding it. I was surprised to see the swans attacking the ducks to monopolize the food. It was shocking that such a beautiful swan could be mean to a small duck... I witnessed the harshness of the wild. lol (Original) 水鳥のエサを購入し、エサをあげていたら 白鳥がエサを独り占めしようと鴨に攻撃をしていてびっくりしました。 こんなに美しい白鳥が、小さな鴨に意地悪するなんて衝撃的で… 野生の厳しさを目の当たりにしました。笑

(Translated by Google) 2024.01.05 When I went there around 12 o'clock in late December, there weren't many swans, so since the weather forecast was good, I went again early in the morning. There were a lot of swans and they started flying away from around 8 o'clock ^_^ youtube → Odekake Munch (Original) 2024.01.05 12月下旬12時位に行ったら白鳥があまりいなかったので、天気予報も良かったので早朝にもう一度行ってみました。 コハクチョウが沢山いて８時位からじゃんじゃんと飛び立っていきました^_^ youtube → おでかけムンク

(Translated by Google) I visited you around 3pm. I searched for Hyoko and ended up at the park's parking lot because I couldn't find the entrance, but it might be smoother if it was Shiratori Kaikan. It seemed like it was just the time for rice, and it was amazing to see so many ducks gathered. Unfortunately there were not many swans. I tried buying some food for sale at a building near the lake, but I couldn't feed it well due to the headwind. (Original) 15時頃お邪魔しました。 瓢湖で検索かけてきた所、入口が分からず公園の駐車場にたどり着きましたが、白鳥会館だとスムーズかもしれません。 丁度ご飯のタイミングだったようで、カモ達が沢山集まっててすごかった。 白鳥は残念ながら少なかったです。 湖のそばの建物で売ってるエサを買ってあげてみましたが、向かい風でうまくあげれませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Needless to say, this is a place where swans fly. ``Sister!? It's a foul move to stretch your neck and grab the food!'' You might be able to hear the duck stealing from you🤣 Needless to say, this is a place where swans fly. Swan stealing food🤣 (Original) 言わずもがな、白鳥飛来地。 「姉御⁉︎その首伸ばしてご飯獲るのは反則技でっせ！」って鴨から聞こえてきそうな横取りが見れるかも🤣 Needless to say, this is a place where swans fly. Swan stealing food🤣

Was closed when we visited. But still well worth the short trip out of our way. It's secluded at the end of a small road, near farms. Mush or the area has been overgrown with moss, but that adds to the beauty and wonder of the area. Not many tourists seem to visit. If you're in the area I would recommend stopping by, even just to have a look around the grounds.

Beautiful temple in a secluded, wonderful and very mysterious environment. Unfortunately it was closed due to coronavirus.

(Translated by Google) The oldest of the six statues in the Shonai region, the Honmei Kaijin is enshrined here, and is said to have the benefit of curing eye diseases. Reservations required (April-December 9:00-16:00), admission fee ¥500. I was able to hear directly from the very kind chief priest, Sama, who gave me a tour. The place where it was built is known...so a stone monument has been erected at the end of a nice moss path. You can also get two types of goshuin. Parking is available in front of the stone steps (information signboard). (Original) 庄内地方六体の中でも一番古い、眼病平癒の御利益があるとされている、本明海上人が安置されています。 要予約(4月〜12月 9時〜16時)、拝観料¥500。 とても優しい住職ｻﾏから直接お話を伺い、案内していただけました。 入定されていた場所もわかっている…との事で、苔の素敵な道の先に石碑が建てられています。 御朱印も2種類いただけます。 駐車場は石段手前に有(案内看板ｱﾘ)。

(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful temple that has not become a tourist destination. It feels like Mt. Koya in Yamagata. He is a priest who is protected by the efforts and kindness of the people at the temple. I feel that the decision to open it to the public was made due to the historical background. Since it is managed by a limited number of people, it is natural that we cannot respond to sudden visits. I felt it was important to confirm by phone before visiting. It is truly a temple that is the way it should be, and there are very few of them now. It is a sacred place that I don't want people who are rude enough to take pictures of the Shonin statue even though it is forbidden to take pictures. There are no rules that are acceptable just because you're a foreigner or don't know anything. I don't want him to behave in the same way that the Shonin who became a Sokushinbutsu is sad. It's a wonderful old temple. (Original) 観光地化していない素晴らしい寺院です。 山形の高野山だと感じます。 お寺の方々の努力と優しさにより護られている上人様です。 時代背景により一般公開に踏み切ったことを感じます。 限られた人数で管理されてるので、突然の訪問には対応できないのは当たり前のことだと思います。 電話確認してからの訪問が大事だと感じました。 本当に今は少ないあるべき姿のお寺です。 上人様は写真撮影禁止なのに、勝手に撮影する無礼な方には来てほしくない聖地です。 外国人だから、知らないからと許されるルールはありません。 即身仏になられた上人様の悲しむ行動はしてほしくないと思うほど 古き良き素晴らしい寺院です。

(Translated by Google) You can visit Honmei Kaijin, the oldest sokushinbutsu in the Shonai region. Please make a reservation and visit. Please note that an admission fee is required. Thank you for your cooperation. Furthermore, this year (2023) is a memorial year for Honmei Kaijin, so the goshuin stamp is also special. If you've been wanting to go for a while, this year (2023) may be the year. (Original) 庄内地方の即身仏でも最も古い時期の本明海上人にお参りすることができます。予約して訪問してください。なお拝観料が必要です。 是非ご協力お願いします。 更に言えば今年(2023年)は本明海上人のメモリアルな年なので御朱印も特別かと。 ちょっと行ってみたかったという方は今年(2023)がその年かもしれません。

(Translated by Google) Honmei Kaijin, the oldest sokushinbutsu in the Yudono Mountains, is enshrined here. I was shocked to hear about Mokushokugyo from the young and cheerful-looking chief priest. Advance reservations are recommended. (Original) 湯殿山系最古の即身仏、本明海上人が祀られている。お若く快活そうな住職から木食行の話などお聞きし身が震えた。事前予約がおすすめ。

(Translated by Google) The chief priest seemed to have a very nice personality. The explanation of Sokushinbutsu was also very easy to understand and kind. (Original) とても良い人柄を感じる住職さまでした。即身仏さまの説明も大変わかりやすく優しく説明してくださりました。

No matter who or how many people are in the group it’s a perfect trip. Nice people and fun activities for you everyone. The rides are a lot of fun. The lines aren’t long in the weekend too. Buying a one day pass is better. Parking is spacious & free.

Fairly pricey and needs lots of love and paint!! Lots of maintenance needs to be done to update the place and the rides although safe (I think) are quite dated. Lots of potential and worth a visit if you have kids under 10. Worth getting the all you can ride pass if you want to ride most things especially the bigger rides more than once.

Wonderful for a Day, bit expensive as Passport cost 4700Yen, but worth if weather is good, nice cafeteria and helping staff.

Small and quite old little park but my daugther loved it! Amazing park for kids and with free parking lot its a plus.

The park is good but in Japan, Nintendo and other game companies are the only badass stuff here in Japan,

The place here is fun in Japan and they put some japanes cartoon character on the ride

Exciting
