Sugihara Sempo Memorial Hall

Mentioned on 
History museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
Important place for the Jewish and Japanese. This memorial museum is devoted to Sugihara Chiune but is more aimed to depict Sugihara's deeds than his personality. Not so many personal items can be found here. Either way, worth a visit for WW2 lovers though it is a challenge to reach the place.

This is an important story that needs to be told. (that of Chiune Sugihara writing visas against orders that saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust) The museum is well designed and quite powerful. The surrounding area is well maintained and very pretty.

Nice and very emotional for Jewish people. The main drawback is that the personnel there almost can't speak English.

Gifu World Rose Garden

Mentioned on 
Memorial park
Nature & Parks
The Gifu World Rose Garden is a vast green space renowned for its abundant spring flowers and May-blooming roses. Visitors can enjoy picnicking by the lake or strolling through fields of colorful blooms. The park boasts an enormous parking lot, but public transportation may not be available. The highlight of the garden is a large greenhouse and Tasha's cottage, although visitors are also wowed by the entrance area featuring real roses.
Gorgeous place, can easily spend a whole day here. Best time for roses is in mid-May, but the highlight for me was the huge greenhouse and Tasha's cottage.

秋のローズフェスティバル2023 開催期間終了前の平日に行く事が出来ました。 天気も良く、空気も清々しく、様々な花・緑・木々が眺められて、別世界に来たような…心癒される空間です。 男女共にお一人で来園されている方も多かったです。 17品種5,500株 世界最大級の『ローズガーデン』入館してすぐバラの大庭園が一面に広がっています。まだまだたくさん咲いていました! 『香りの庭~バラ回廊』世界・日本・珍しい種類の薔薇など、グルっと1周回って見学。半分以上は花が散っていましたが、彩り鮮やかで良い香りに包まれます。 『モロッコ庭園』はモロッコの資材と伝統技術で装飾されており、入口は星型アートになっていました。 子供が楽しめるアスレチックや遊具もあります。ロードトレイン300円で乗車可能。 花のミュージアムでは数種類の薔薇が展示され、香りを確かめたり違いを楽しんだり、バラの小物・お土産や商品を取り扱うショップも入っています。 花苗専門店ではコスモスやバラの苗が販売されていました。 バラの満開時期は少し過ぎていましたが、秋のコリウス、ジニア(百日草)、マリーゴールド、ローズヒップ、コスモスが見頃。あじさい、ケイトウ等も咲いていて、楽しめました。 写真映えするスポットも多く、全体的に満足度の高い素敵なガーデン♪ 良い思い出になりました♪ ⚠園内散策は、入館時に貰える『薔薇旅マップ』を参考にしながら歩く事をオススメします!! 10月末頃~園内奥の方にコスモスが咲いていたようです。見逃しました…(;_;) (Translated by Google) Autumn Rose Festival 2023 I was able to go on a weekday before the event ended. The weather is nice, the air is fresh, and you can see various flowers, greenery, and trees, and it's like you've come to another world...It's a soothing space. There were many people, both male and female, who came alone. One of the world's largest rose gardens with 5,500 roses of 17 varieties.As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a large rose garden. There were still many blooms! ``Garden of Fragrance - Rose Corridor'' Take a tour around the world, Japan, and rare types of roses. More than half of the flowers had fallen, but the flowers were brightly colored and fragrant. The ``Moroccan Garden'' was decorated with Moroccan materials and traditional techniques, and the entrance was decorated with star-shaped art. There are also athletic and play equipment for children to enjoy. You can ride the road train for 300 yen. At the flower museum, there are several types of roses on display, where you can sample the scents and enjoy the differences, and there is also a shop selling rose accessories, souvenirs, and products. Cosmos and rose seedlings were sold at flower seedling specialty stores. It was a little past the full bloom period for roses, but autumn coleus, zinnias, marigolds, rosehips, and cosmos were in full bloom. Hydrangeas and celosia were also blooming, which I enjoyed. There are many photogenic spots, and the garden is very satisfying overall♪ It became a good memory ♪ ⚠When walking around the park, we recommend that you refer to the ``Rose Journey Map'' that you receive when you enter the park! ! It seems that cosmos were blooming towards the back of the park from around the end of October. I missed it...(;_;)

Eummmm!! You want roses, THATS the place you need to go!!! The most beautiful arrangements of roses I’ve ever seen in my life!😱 I got the early access on the weekends and I HIGHLY recommend it!!! You get to enjoy not only the intense smell of the roses in the early hours of the day (with early access you can enter as of 7h am) BUT take the most amazing pictures with the dew on the roses petals! Plus less people in the gardens!!! Absolutely worth getting up early and paying a little extra (2000¥ instead of 1300¥ I believe). It’s ABSOLUTELY a show stopper, worth the detour !!

時期ではないので、花も少なくあまり見応えなかった。でもすいてたのでのんびり散策できてそれはよかったです。すごい香りのいい薔薇があって癒やし。あと、園内より露天で売ってる薔薇のほうが状態よくて😂 飲食の場所が少なく、テイクアウトも少ない。なぜかおしゃれな?五平餅の店がありました。 センターコートのお店で食べましたが、三元豚のカレーライス注文したんだけど三元豚どこ???レトルトのカレーのせただけで1000円ごえ……店員は数はいるのにあまり接客したくないって感じで、めちゃめちゃ無愛想で残念。 注文してから着席するスタイルですが、注文先にお願いするシステムになります、とかではなく注文先です!!て高圧的な態度で言われました。女性の若い方でしたけどバイトですか??印象悪すぎてせっかく見てた綺麗な薔薇も打ち消されちゃいました。 犬は入口ゲート付近に預かってくれるスペースあります。が、柵があるだけで監視者とかいるわけでもなく、水入れとかもなし。ここに犬預けるとか不安で仕方ない……せめて定期的に巡回してくれるとかじゃないと預けるスペース有りとはしないほうがいいです。怖すぎる。 (Translated by Google) Since it was not the best season, there were few flowers and it was not very impressive. But it was empty so I was able to take a leisurely stroll, which was nice. There are roses that smell great and are soothing. Also, the roses sold outdoors are in better condition than in the garden 😂 There are few places to eat and drink, and there are few take-out options. Is it fashionable for some reason? There was a shop selling Gohei mochi. I ate at a restaurant in Center Court, and I ordered Sangenton curry and rice, but where is Sangenton? ? ? It cost 1,000 yen just for the retort curry... Although there are a number of staff members, they don't seem to want to serve customers very much, which is a shame. It's a style where you order and then sit down, but instead of asking the place to order, it's the place where you order! ! This was said in a high-pressure manner. She was a young woman, but was she part-time? ? The impression was so bad that the beautiful roses I had been looking at were canceled out. There is a space where you can leave your dog near the entrance gate. However, there is only a fence, there are no guards, and there is no water container. I can't help but feel uneasy about leaving my dog ​​here...it's better not to have space to leave it unless the dog is patrolled regularly. too scary.

Massive park with different flowers. Best time to go there in May where most of the flowers are in bloom. Some parts was still not yet ready but it was beautiful to look at. Nice for photos too. They have an enormous parking lot too and can only be reached by car. Didn’t see any means of public transportation

Please note that bees are more active depending on the season. There are also plenty of souvenir shops. Please take it as a souvenir. The grounds are vast, so if you have limited mobility in your lower body, we recommend taking a break while sightseeing. The view is spectacular, so please make sure to charge your smartphone while sightseeing. Perhaps because of the location, there is no gas station in sight. Make sure to refuel early nice follow please

I visited during the later part of May. The roses were absolutely stunning! I highly recommend visiting but be sure the flowers are in bloom. It was fantastic, there were a few performers here and there. The sweet aroma of the different roses mixed together making everything smell so beautiful! There's quite a few food vendors but also spaces for picnics. There were a good number of bees buzzing around, it being flowers and all, so be aware if you have any allergies. There were so many different types of flowers and they're all well marked so you can tell which is which. It was a great experience and I am glad I was able to see the roses before going home. Have safe and fun travels!

Large place, with variety of rose flowers, even seasonal flowers are grown, You can see the Moroccan flag in flower, Take your time n visit, Maybe the rosé season and the snow season is best time to visit, you can enjoy snow in the park.

Great park with interesting events and flower displays for all seasons. The best time to visit is definitely the late spring bloom of roses in May but be prepared for large crowds. Autumn also has a beautiful display of roses but not as spectacular, although maybe more fragrant. There are many other flowers on show throughout the park during the year with probably the best display in the furthest back corner from he entrance. There there is a field filled with different flowers throughout the year depending on the season, nemophila, sunflowers, and cockscomb have all been there at one time or another. Can’t recommend this park enough if you are in the area. Entrance fees change during the season, ¥1,050 per adult during peak times, ¥500 off peak, and free during the winter months. Children are free admission. A year pass is also available for ¥2,100.

Great for a day out. The park looks fairly recent, and well maintained. It's divided in small areas like little worlds within the park. You can get a 360 view from the tower, and take home rose trees from the shops inside. There's also a "family area" good for pic nic and kids playing with water. If you go by train, make sure to get off at Godo station. Then it's about half an hour walk (uphill) Google map might be sending you to the west of the park but there's no entrance on that side. You'll end up walking all the way around the forest. Speaking from experience. See map of the park attached for guidance. Enjoy!

渡邉泰徳 — Google review
(Translated by Google) I was impressed. This is the pride of the Japanese people. What kind of things did Chiune Sugiura do at that time, what kind of hardships did she struggle with, and what kind of decisions did she make? I want many people to know about it and to see it. You can tour the museum for an admission fee of 300 yen. There was a park and small buildings standing in the mountains of Yaotsu, which is rich in nature. Documents handwritten by Chiune Sugiura and telegrams exchanged with the Japanese government. There are heart-wrenching and tragic photos and documents from that time. A video is playing in the back room at the end. It's very easy to understand, so please take a look. (Original) 感動しました。 日本人の誇りです。 当時、杉浦千畝さんがどんな事をされたのか、どんな苦悩と闘いどんな決断されたのか。 たくさんの人に知って欲しいし、みて欲しいと思います。 入館料300円で見学できます。 八百津の自然豊かな山の中に公園と、小さな建物がポツンと建っていました。 杉浦千畝さんの直筆の資料や、日本政府とのやりとりした電信。 当時の、胸が苦しくなる悲惨な写真や資料があります。 突き当たりの奥の部屋では、動画が流れています。とても分かりやすくまとめられているので是非見てほしいです。

There is a large athletic facility above parking lot 4, so it might be a good idea to use it if you have children.

(Translated by Google) 🏍️Visited on a short tour The monument in the center was a space where you could relax and hear music at certain times. It seems to have been developed as a park to honor Chiune Sugihara's achievements, and there is also a memorial hall attached to it, so it feels like a place where you can learn about her humanitarian achievements, history, and think about what she should do in the future. (Original) 🏍️プチツーリングで訪問しました 中央にある モニュメントは時間になると 音楽が流れて ほっとできるスペースでした 杉原千畝の功績をたたえる公園として整備されたらしく 記念館も併設されており 人道的な功績 歴史を学べ これから先 何をするべきか考えさせられる場所のような気がしました

(Translated by Google) The waterfall was making a gurgling sound, probably because the amount of water had increased due to the rain the day before yesterday. I received plenty of negative ions. The mountain path to the waterfall was well maintained and was very easy to walk. The cherry blossoms were just beginning to bloom, and by the time we descended the mountain, they had fully bloomed. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful nature nearby❢ (Original) 一昨日の雨で水量が増していたせいか、滝もゴウゴウと音を立て落ちていただがね。マイナスイオンタップリ頂いてきただがね。滝への山道も整備されとても歩きやすかっただがね。 桜は、まさに開花しかけ、下山の頃には大分花開いた様子。近場でこんなに素晴らしい自然が残っているなんて、とても得した気分❢

(Translated by Google) I went there on May 5, 2023. I had been interested in this place for a while, but I was not sure what would happen if it didn't meet my expectations, but when I got there, the view was even more spectacular than I had expected. There is a promenade and the view is spectacular when you go to the top. It can be slippery underfoot, so we recommend wearing sneakers that are comfortable to walk in. You can fully enjoy the waterfall without going all the way to the top. I think it's most beautiful during the autumn leaves, but the red bridge stands out against the greenery and is also very beautiful when the leaves are fresh. If you are used to walking, it is a good idea to walk back and forth from the center of Yaotsu town. (Original) 2023年の5/5に行って来ました。 前から気になっていた場所でしたが、期待はずれだったらどうしようと思いつつ現地へ行ったら期待以上に素晴らしい眺めでした。 遊歩道が有り、一番上まで行くと絶景です。足元が滑りやすいので、歩きやすいスニーカーを履いて行くのをオススメします。 上まで行かなくても十分に滝を楽しむ事が出来ます。 紅葉の時期が一番綺麗だとは思いますが、新緑の時期も赤い橋が緑に映えてとても綺麗です。 歩きなれた方なら八百津の町の中心部から歩いて往復してもちょうど良い感じです。
