Fun family place, lots of animals walking around that would typically be caged up in the USA. Delicious food vendors and they don't try to price gouge you with 2-3 dollars refreshments like they do in the states. Nice lil water play area for the children, be sure to pack them a swimsuit!

Good for families! A nice little zoo in the mountains! If you would like spend your time, this is a good place! Should try!

The area is great for families with small children. You can catch soumon in bamboo shoots, pet animals, catch fish, play on rides, ride horses, play in water, and have a BBQ. Lots of fun for kids.

Nice open area for the family with some cute animals to see and touch. You have to pay extra to do any activities once you’ve paid to enter the park. Can turn into an expensive day out

Great place to spend the day with the family. There's enough entertainment for everyone, petting zoo, crafts, rides and free shows. Just like every other park in Japan, you'll have to pay extra for things to do one inside though. The place is well maintained. You can bring food from outside which I'd recommend.

It's hot, everything is outside and far away. Water play area is full of brown scum. Animals are cute and you can touch them. Basic admission is 1000 yen, which is pretty cheap imho.

Lots of cute animals, some are pretty rare so the fact that you can touch them is pretty nice. A couple of restaurants operation on the premises. Best to visit with your kids, perfect place for some family quality time.

(Translated by Google) Hiking on Mt. Kasagata is very interesting. I am very happy to have a good experience here, but when I climbed the mountain today the weather was bad, the clouds were very heavy and the wind was strong ... (Original) 笠形山のハイキングはとてもおもしろいです。 ここで良い経験ができてとても嬉しいですが、今日山に登ったときは天気が悪く、雲がとても重く、風が強かったです...

(Translated by Google) Altitude: 939.4m. Another name is Harima Fuji. It is counted as one of the 100 famous mountains in Kansai, 100 famous mountains in Kinki, and 50 mountains in my hometown of Hyogo (Source: Wikipedia) The top has an outstanding 360-degree view, and there are covered tables and benches, making it perfect for lunch. This time I went back and forth on the Green Echo Kasagata course. It takes about 4 to 4.5 hours round trip. Unlike the summit, the trail is surrounded by trees and there is no view, but we were able to enjoy a forest bath. There aren't many signs, so there are colored tapes attached to trees as landmarks, but there were a few times I missed them and got lost💦Moreover, I sometimes got lost at branching points💦I often looked at maps and GPS navigation. is good. The Green Echo Kasagata course is convenient because there is a hot spring at Green Echo Kasagata just 1km down from the parking lot! (Original) 標高939.4m。別名は播磨富士。関西百名山、近畿百名山、ふるさと兵庫50山の一つに数えられる(出展Wikipedia) 頂上は360度見晴らし抜群で、屋根付きのテーブルやベンチがあって、ランチに最適です。 今回はグリーンエコー笠形コースを往復しました。往復4～4.5時間程度です。頂上と違って、登山道は木々に囲まれて展望はありませんが、森林浴できました。 標識があまりないため、木にはってあるカラーテープが目印ですが、見落として迷ったことが数か所ありました💦しかも分岐で迷うこともありました💦地図やＧＰＳナビを頻繁に見た方がいいです。 グリーンエコー笠形コースは、駐車場から1km下るとグリーンエコー笠形に温泉があって便利ですね！

(Translated by Google) The view from the top is amazing. You can also climb from the Green Echo side to the west, but the best route is to climb from the south via Kasagata Shrine. (June 2021) A view of Mt. Kasagata was obtained from Mt. Kakuo on the west side. (March 24) (Original) 頂上からの展望がすこぶるいい。西のグリーンエコー側からも登れるが、南から笠形神社経由で登る道が一番整備されている。(21年6月) 西脇の角尾山から笠形山の展望が得られた。(24年3月)

(Translated by Google) This is Harima Fuji. It takes about an hour to climb up from Kasagata Shrine. I was planning to go up there because it's always sung in the school song, but the timing wasn't right and I couldn't see anything. (Original) 播磨富士です。笠形神社から約1時間ほどで登りきれます。 いつも校歌で歌うので登ろうと思っていたのですが、タイミングが悪く、何も見えなかった。

(Translated by Google) Altitude: 939m I parked my car at Mt. Kasagata Climbers Parking Lot 1 and climbed the Sennin Falls Course at a leisurely pace in about 3 hours. After enjoying the 360-degree view from the summit, we descended the mountain on the Kasagata Shrine course.

(Translated by Google) Climbed from the Taka town side on November 19, 2021. The area near the top of this mountain, which can be seen from my home in Sanda City, has a unique dome shape that makes it easy to distinguish the mountain from a distance. When climbing, I crossed a forest road, but got lost just before it, so I continued up, joined the main road, and completed the climb. It seems like there were a lot of columnar jointed stones along the way? Although it was a bit of a tight climb, the view was very good and I would like to go there again. (Original) 2021.11月19日、多可町側から登山。住まいの三田市からも望めるこの山の山頂付近は独特のドーム型に盛り上がっていて遠くからでも山の判別がしやすい山です。登りの際、林道を横断するがその手前で迷い、迷ったまま上がり本道と合流して登りきりました。途中柱状節理状の石が多かったような？少しタイトな登山でありましたが眺望は大変良くてまた行ってみたいです。

(Translated by Google) Mt. Kasagata is quite a challenging climb for beginner climbers. I thought it was a little scary to use the Sennin Falls course for descending, so I climbed from the Sennin Falls course and descended via the Kasagata Shrine course. It was a mountain trail that you could enjoy in many ways, such as traversing steep slopes on narrow trails and climbing some rocky areas. It was really, really hard though. There was a wonderful 360 degree view from the top. I climbed it and was very happy. On the way down, the steep and extremely long stairs leading up to Kasagata Shrine were impressive, and I went down thinking that I was glad I didn't have to climb these stairs, which seemed to go on forever. I felt that the Sennin Falls course was better because you could enjoy the scenery. (Original) 登山初心者にとってはかなり登りごたえのある笠形山でした 仙人滝コースを下りに利用するには少し怖いと思ったので、仙人滝コースから登り、笠形神社コースで下山しました 登りでは、急な斜面を幅の狭い登山道で横断したり少しの岩場を登ったりと、色々と楽しめる登山道でした 凄く凄くしんどかったけど 頂上からは360度見渡せる素晴らしい景色でした 登って大満足でした 下りは、笠形神社までの急なめちゃくちゃ長い階段が印象的で、無限に続くかと思われるこの階段を登らなくて良かったと思いながら下りました 仙人滝コースの方が景色とかも楽しめて良いと感じました

(Translated by Google) A mountain loved by the local community, the summit offers a great 360° view. Even so, it seemed like a fairly difficult mountain. The branches of the Sennin Falls course in particular are difficult to understand, so it is best to avoid it for beginners. If you decide to go, it is better to use mountain climbing maps and mountaineering apps. The Kasagata Shrine course isn't that difficult to understand, but it requires a lot of stamina because it's all about stairs. (Original) 地域に愛される山で山頂は360°の眺望がグッド。といいつつも結構難易度の高い山に思えた。 特に仙人滝コースは分岐がわかりにくく、初心者はやめておいたほうが無難。 もし行くなら、登山地図や山岳アプリなどを使用したほうがいい。 笠形神社コースはそういうわかりにくさはないが、ひたすら階段なので体力がいる。

高台にあるドライビングスポット。ラベンダー畑がとても綺麗であり、敷地内ではラベンダーに、ちなんだ香りの小物やデザートを食べられたりもする。結構な斜面のところもあり、足腰に自信のない方は無理しないで。階段ではなく、スロープなので頑張れば車椅子で上の方まで行けるが介助は必須。 値段も手頃であり、2022年5月末では一部開花していないということで入場料300円であった。バイク乗りにはお薦めするドライビングスポットである。

(Translated by Google) The drive is decided here on a sunny day! ️The parking lot is large, and more than 100 cars can be parked in the second parking lot.From May 13th, entry into the lavender fields in Naruto will be charged (500 yen). It's too early and it hasn't bloomed very much ❗I'm stuck Chiyoko Shimakura ❗There is also a coffee shop, so if you look around the fields, take a break here ❗The scenery is good on the hill, and the air is good. Please come to me～🎵 (Original) 天気の良い日にドライブはここで決まり‼️駐車場は広く、第２駐車場を入れて１００台以上は停めれるよ❗これからのシーズンに鳴門、ラベンダー畑に入るのは５月１３日から有料（５００円）になるザマス❗今はまだ時期尚早で、余り咲いてません❗しまったしまった島倉千代子❗喫茶店もあるので、畑を観て廻ったらここで一休み一休み❗高台で景色も良く、空気がうまいラベンダー畑を、ドライブがてら観に来ておくんなまし～🎵

Relaxing sight and smell☺

(Translated by Google) June 19, 2022 (Sun) The parking lot was free and the admission fee was 300 yen for adults. It seems that the admission fee fluctuates depending on the season and is free outside the season. Perhaps it was a little early, it was different from being full of lavender on one side. I was convinced that I wanted to visit once. It was so hot that it didn't go up 😆 It was my first time to have lavender ice cream and it was so delicious and I sweated 😆 (Original) 2022年6月19日(日) 駐車場は無料で、入場料は大人￥300でした。 入場料は、時期により変動し時期外れは無料だったりするみたいですね。 少し早かったのか、１面ラベンダーに溢れているのとは違っていました。が１度訪れてみたかったので納得です。 暑くて上までは上がりませんでした😆 ラベンダーアイスは初めてで まあまあ美味しくて汗が引きました😆

(Translated by Google) I went when the lavender wasn't blooming, but there was a cafe and restaurant, so it was nice to take a break. (Original) ラベンダーの咲いてない時期に行きましたが、カフェや食堂があって休憩によかったです

(Translated by Google) You can check the best time to see lavender on the website. Admission is charged during the lavender bloom season. There are no sunshades in the park, so UV protection is a must. There was a restaurant outside the lavender garden that served all-you-can-eat egg-cooked rice. (Original) ラベンダーの見頃はホームページから確認できます。ラベンダーが咲く時期は入園は有料。園内は日除けがないので紫外線対策は必須です。 ラベンダー園の外に、卵かけご飯食べ放題のお店がありました。

(Translated by Google) I visited in early July. Since it was during the season, the admission fee was 500 yen per person. It seems like the flowers bloomed early this year. For 300 yen per person, you can ride in a cart driven by a guide. 🛻 You can pick as many as 50 flowers for 300 yen. 🪻 The location was great ✨ The staff were all kind, friendly, and fun. There is also a restaurant that sells egg-cooked rice, and you can taste various kinds of soy sauce. You can get refills of eggs and rice 🥚 There was also a souvenir shop, which was fun! 😊👍✨ (Original) 7月初旬に訪問しました。 シーズン中なので入場料１人500円でした。 今年は花が咲くのが早かったみたいです。 １人300円で、ガイドさん運転のカートに乗れます。🛻 花摘みは300円で50本も摘めます。🪻 ロケーション最高でした✨ スタッフさんは皆さん親切でフレンドリーで、楽しかったです。 あと、卵かけごはんのお店があり、色んな種類の醤油を味わえます。 卵とごはんのおかわり出来ます🥚 お土産屋さんもあり、楽しかったです！😊👍✨

(Translated by Google) Perhaps because I entered the park in the afternoon, the entrance fee was half price, 300 yen. I went there on June 23rd, but the lavender wasn't blooming much. The old man who was mowing the grass taught me the name of lavender and the different smells. Also, when I was taking pictures, she said, ``You can come inside,'' and she was very kind. He also said, ``I'm sorry for the noise of the mower,'' which made me feel really good. (Original) 午後から入園したからなのか、入園料が半額の300円だった。 6/23に行ったが、ラベンダーはあまり咲いていなかった。 草刈りをしていたオジサンが、ラベンダーの名前や匂いの違い等を教えてくれた。 また写真を撮っていると「中に入って良いよ」と言ってくれ、とても親切だった。 「草刈機の音がうるさくてすみません」とも言っていたので、凄く感じが良かった。

(Translated by Google) Various types of lavender were in full bloom, giving off a faint lavender scent. It's bigger than I expected, and you have to climb a fairly steep hill or stairs to get to the top, but I think you'll be relieved to see that the view from the top is surrounded by big mountains. (Original) いろんな種類のラベンダーが咲き誇り、ほんのりとラベンダーの香りがしていました。 思っていたより広く、上に行くにはまあまあ急な坂か階段を登りますが、上から見る景色も大きな山に囲まれてるのがよくわかりほっとすると思います。

(Translated by Google) Although it wasn't lavender season yet, I visited for the Christmas Rose Exhibition! I had coffee at the cafe corner 😊 It was very relaxing! (Original) 今は未だラベンダーのシーズンではありませんでしたが、クリスマスローズ展があり訪れました! 喫茶コーナーでコーヒーをいただきました😊 とてもリラックス出来ました!

(Translated by Google) There is a lot of time for free swimming, so you can swim without hesitation. *Photography is prohibited inside the museum. (Original) フリーで泳げる時間が多く、気兼ねなく泳げます。※館内は写真撮影禁止です。

(Translated by Google) The pool is located in a place with clean air and the water quality is very clean. It's located in the throat area, so it's a great place to take a breather! (Original) 空気も綺麗な場所にあり、水質も大変綺麗なプールです。喉かな場所にある為、息抜きには是非！

(Translated by Google) I think it's great because you can use it in the pool all year round. The information is for August 2021, If you become an annual member, it costs 12,430 yen for an adult, so I think it's very good because you can go to the pool as much as you like for about 1,000 yen a month. (Children & over 65 years old: 6310 yen per year) There are also great value commuter passes for people who only go on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and for people who only go during the day on weekdays, and those that suit your convenience, such as 3 hours after opening and 3 hours before closing, so it's very good. I think. However, we have a swimming school in the evenings on weekdays from around 8pm, so only about 2 to 4 courses are available. Therefore, please be aware that when there are many customers, you may not be able to swim at your own pace. Monday is Ladies' Day, and some courses have women-only lanes. It appears to be open from Monday to Sunday, except when closed on Tuesdays. (Original) 通年プールに入れるのでとてもいいと思います。 2021年8月の情報になりますが、 年間会員になれば大人で12430円なので、1ヶ月約1000円で好きなだけプールに行けるのでとてもいいと思います。（小人&65歳以上は1年6310円） 他にも、土日祝しか行かない人向けや、平日昼間しか行かない人向け、開館から3時間、閉館前の3時間等、ここの都合に合うようなお得な定期券もあるので、とってもいいと思います。 ただ、平日夕方、夕～夜8時頃はスイミングスクールをやっていますので、コースが2〜4コース位位しか使えなくなります。 なので、お客さんが多い時は、自分のペースで泳げなかったりする事があるので、ご注意下さい。 後、月曜日はレディースデイになっており、何コースかは女性専用レーンになります。 火曜の休館日を除いて、月～日曜の利用になる感じです。

(Translated by Google) I went swimming with my wife for the first time. The receptionist was polite and I swam about 2km slowly and relaxingly. It got crowded from around the evening. I will use it again if I have the opportunity. (Original) 初めて妻と来て泳ぎました。受付の方も丁寧で、ゆっくりまったりと2キロほど泳ぎました。夕方頃から混んできました。また機会があれば利用させて頂きます。

(Translated by Google) Thank you very much for always taking care of me. This is an important facility that is essential for maintaining my health. Thank you for always watching over me. (Original) いつもいつもお世話になりとてもありがたいです。 私の健康維持に欠かせない大切な施設です。 見守りをずーとして下さり感謝しています。

(Translated by Google) I will accompany my grandson swimming. I feel safe because I can watch my children's lessons right in front of my eyes. It's easy to stop your car, but be careful of oncoming cars on the slopes on your way there and back.

(Translated by Google) Visited to collect dam cards. At the wrong time, I rang the intercom, but no one answered. After waiting for almost 20 minutes (I asked, they said they didn't notice because they were working behind the scenes), and the dam staff came to take precautions. I explained the situation to the person who was watching over me even though it was my day off, and although I said that it was actually my day off, he handed out dumb cards. The water was crystal clear and beautiful, and the starry sky was like being in a planetarium! (Original) ダムカード収集のために訪問　タイミング悪くインターホン鳴らしても誰も出ず20分近く待ちぼうけした末に(聞けば裏で作業サれていたために気づかずとのこと)、自◯対策のためにダム職員の方が交代交代で休みでも見回りされていた方に事情を話し、本当は休みなんですけどね～といいながらもダムカードを配布して頂きました。水は透き通っていてキレイ、星空はプラネタリウムにいるかのようなレベルでした！

(Translated by Google) Rockfill dam with levee length of 44.1m and levee length of 306.2m. The water was so beautiful. It is said to be useful for agricultural and industrial water. Solar panels were installed on the downstream side (directly below the dam). (Original) 堤長44.1m、堤長306.2mのロックフィルダム 水がとてもキレイでした。 農業用水や工業用水に役立ってるそうです。 下流側(ダム直下)にソーラーパネルが設置されてました。

(Translated by Google) 2020/01/04 Visit It is unusual for a rockfill dam to have a water intake a little far from the dam dam. It's a shame that you can't walk on the top There is a spillway on the other side of the dam. I wanted to see the shape of the spillway from the top. Too bad (Original) 2020/01/04 訪問 ダム堰堤から少し離れて取水口があるのはロックフィルダムでは珍しいですね 天端を歩けないのが残念 堰堤の反対側に洪水吐があります 天端から洪水吐の形状が観たかった　残念

(Translated by Google) The water is very blue in color. Unfortunately, entry to the dam is prohibited. (Original) 水がとても青い色をしています。 堰堤は残念ながら立ち入り禁止です。

(Translated by Google) Kojiya Dam is a rockfill dam with a bank height of 44.1 meters located in Naka Ward, Taka Town, Taka District. Construction will be completed in 1989. The dam lake is Lake Suimei. During the day, it is a quiet lake surrounded by nature. However, at night, it is very quiet and there are few street lights, making it an eerie place. It seems like I can see something that is not of this world. (Original) 糀谷(こうじや)ダムは、多可郡多可町中区にある堤高44.1メートルのロックフィルダムです。竣工は1989年になります。 ダム湖は翠明湖。昼間は、自然豊かな静かな湖です。が、夜間は、静か過ぎて街灯も少なく薄気味悪い場所です。 この世のものでないものが見えそうですね。

(Translated by Google) Access to the top of the dam is prohibited. You can get a dam card at the management office. (Original) ダムの上は進入禁止。 管理所でダムカードもらえます。
