A must with kids to spend the day. Nursing and changing facilities are available. Large parking lot and quite a few of cafeterias/cafes to choose from. Picnicking is allowed as well for those who prefer to bring their own food. Be prepared to do a fair amount of walking! All activities are outdoors.

If you love Sylvania, you will love this place. I will let you know you have to pay to get into the park, then pay to get on any of the rides and pay to get into the Sylvania, not cheap

JA Market , love it :-) Seasonable Fresh vegetable and fruit . also groceries too .

Great place to go with kids. Now they are holding dinosaurs event. It is scary for kindergarten kids, but a bit boring for elementary school kids.. This is really wide place, you can find lots of animal event and attractions. There is a bus to the nearest station, but car will be better choice to come.

Went during mid October and weather was sunny. This place can get rather hot with the sunny weather and lots of walking. But I suspect it will also get pretty chilly if it was raining as this was what I experienced with Mother Farm in Tokyo (damn cold!). Attractions are opened but not all restaurants were opened when we were there midweek. Note that if you use google map, it sometimes shows several train stations for the connection to the last mile bus journey and some of the recommended stations may not be the ideal one. Take the local train to Izumigaoka Station (also recommended by google). Once there, take the south exit and walk straight until you see bus stop #6 which has a sign that says Harvest Hill. 3 stops from here to reach harvest hill and less than 100m after alighting to reach harvest hill entrance. Do note the timing of the bus returning to the train station from the harvest hill bus stop - there is a signboard there.

Family friendly park which would be great for families or couples, flowers are seasonal (I went in February) so make sure to plan ahead if you’re there for flowers. But there are also many other attractions to do and see. I really love animals so that was the main attraction for me but there is also mini go karting, hill sliding, duck boats and several other activities. A lot of small shops around the park for souvenirs, food & beverage. Definitely a nice place to go with family and children.

Nice park but too expensive for a day visit. The entrance price is 1,000 yen for adults and 600 yen up to JH school students but that's just to enter, you have to pay extra for everything else it can become very expensive very quickly if you are a family of 4 or 5. World Ranch is better value for money. A yearly ticket is good value for money, I know people who have 1 and go there on a regular basis. The restaurants are nice with a great variety. There is an Italian, BBQ, German and others in there food court.

Staff are friendly. Animals are kept very clean. You can see capybara in the farm! The strawberry farm all you can eat is definitely worth 2200yen per person!

Pretty fun place for your family and kids to visit! Just be prepared to walk a lot since the park is really big!

Went there during golden week, price of the tickets went up. Overall the crowd was still manageable, lots of kids and families. Rides and activities are paid separately.

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly, a lot of people were visiting, probably because it was the first day of the three consecutive holidays in February of Corona. The parking lot on the way back was full. As you say, it was a big challenge. From the beginning, the slope was steep, and as I walked deeper, sparse stone steps continued, and the road width became narrower, which was tough. I tried my best and walked for about 30 minutes, but it was hard 😱 After paying ¥ 500 in the precincts, I was able to see the magnificent Kannon. It is a big loss to try hard to climb and stingy 🥺 The bell sword hall was behind, but it was off limits. Mr. Benzaiten and Mr. Mifudo were near the entrance. Benzaiten's Taki didn't have enough water, but not seeing it would be a loss, so be sure to check it out! ️I think it's better to go. (Original) コロナ禍の２月の3連休の初日って事もあってか、意外と沢山の人が訪れていました。帰りの駐車場は満車状態でした。 皆さんが言う様に、かなりの難所でした。最初から勾配はキツく、奥へ歩むにつれてまばらな石段が続き、道幅も狭くなりキツかったです。頑張って歩いて３０分位でしたが、キツかったです😱 境内で¥５００円支払ったら、立派な観音様を拝観出来ました。頑張って登ってケチるのは大損です🥺　鐘撞堂は裏手にありましたが、立ち入り禁止になってました。 弁天さん、御不動さんは登り口付近にありました。弁天さんの瀧は水量が無かったとは言え、見ないのは損しますので、是非‼️行かれた方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) "Mt. Makio Sefukuji" is the "fourth temple" of the "Thirty-three Temples of Saigoku". The Saigoku 33 Temple Tour has a history of about 1,300 years, so the access means are well-maintained, making it easy for anyone to visit. increase. That's because "the temple is in the mountains and the road is not maintained". After changing trains and buses, I managed to arrive at the terminal, but suddenly I was in the middle of the mountains. Just. It's so refreshing there~🌈 Amidst the chirping of birds and the murmuring of a brook, I climbed the mountain earnestly. Seasonal flowers are blooming Physically, it's tough, but when you breathe in the clean air, it's wrapped in a mysterious "comfort"... "Refreshing~!!" "Soothing~!!" While I was drenched in sweat, looking up and looking to the side, I arrived at “Sefukuji Temple”! The main hall that I arrived at while wheezing was very beautiful. Did you carry all these materials on your back? Unimaginable😱. It used to be a hidden Buddha, but now it can be worshiped all year round. As an added bonus, you are allowed to take pictures... Please take more pictures! That's what I'm talking about. It is a generous response. The main object of worship is Maitreya Bodhisattva, a Buddha who will appear to save us 5.67 billion years from now. In order for Miroku Bodhisattva to "save the lost commoners", he has a "splasher" in his hand! "Huge!" that does not match the size of the main hall ... "Halo" seems to be attached to the ceiling. And the "Hougai Kannon" here is also "super huge". The drum on the left and the 1.8 liter bottle in the foreground look small. This "Old Buddha", which is large enough to look up, is in the state of "nothing to separate it" such as "glass enclosure" or "fence". In addition, there are a lot of "copying sutras" in front of Buddha 😮😮😮 It is said that it is a system where you can write "sutras" at home "in front of your favorite Buddha" and "pay them yourself" 😝 In front of various Buddhas, there was a "mountain of copying sutras". By the way, I was told about this at "Kanshin-ji Temple", but it's called "Goshuin" when you pay the sutras to the temple and receive the "burning fee" and the stamp "I've certainly paid it to the temple!" "Thing. “The original meaning is gone though~” When paying sutras at Sefuku-ji, please make your own judgment and pay the money!

(Translated by Google) This is the 4th temple of the Saigoku 33 Temple Tour. From the parking lot, go up the mountain road for about 1 km one way and climb the stairs. Some stones are slippery, so sandals or worn shoes are dangerous. The parking lot is free, and there are no drinking water sales on the road to Sefukuji except for the Makiosan Tourist Center, so it is recommended to prepare in advance or buy at the tourist center. Entrance fee is 500 yen. Admission fee is 500 yen. Goshuin is 300 yen. The astringent persimmon leaf sushi sold at the tourist center, Thai and mackerel, is a bale-shaped sushi, and the vinegared rice is sweet and delicious.

(Translated by Google) Visited on a weekday in late October. There is a road leading up to the parking lot that makes it difficult to pass each other by car, so I think it would be better to check where you will pass each other before proceeding. Parking is free. After parking in the parking lot, climb a relatively steep slope and stairs until you see the gate of the temple. There are many people who are already tired at that point. It takes about 30 minutes or so from there. Light clothing is fine, but it is recommended that you wear shoes appropriate for your trekking level. Some people were using poles for both climbing and descending mountains. There are benches along the way, but there are no restrooms. There was a bio-toilet in the temple. I saw many people near the top who were exhausted, so water and towels are essential. We recommend going during the cooler months. Entrance fee is 500 yen, and 500 yen to visit the principal image. (Original) 10月下旬の平日に訪問。駐車場に至るまでに車で少しすれ違いが困難な道があるので、どこですれ違えるのか確認しながら進む方がよいかと思います。 駐車場は無料です。駐車場に停めてから、わりと急な坂道と階段を登るとお寺の門が見えてきます。その時点でもう疲れている方もちらほら。 そこからおよそ30分かかるかかからないかぐらいです。服は軽装で大丈夫ですが、トレッキングレベルに適した靴を履いて行く方がおすすめです。登下山ともにストックを使用されてる方もいました。途中でベンチはありますが、トイレはないです。お寺にはバイオトイレがありました。 頂上近いところで疲弊されてる方をたくさん見たので、水分、タオルは必須。涼しい時期に行かれることをおすすめします。 入山料500円、ご本尊様参拝に500円。

(Translated by Google) It is one of the 33 places in Saigoku. I had never been there before, so I decided to visit. Parking is free. There are narrow places along the way, so please be careful. If you don't buy something from the store right next to the parking lot, there are no vending machines ahead, so it's better to buy something. Let's finish using the toilet. There are also no toilets. After paying the entrance fee of 500 yen, you can walk up the mountain, but it is quite steep. There are benches where you can take a break along the way, so don't overdo it and wear comfortable shoes. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the main hall. You can also see the inside of the main hall for 500 yen. It's okay to take photos, so feel free to take a look. (Original) 西国三十三所の1つです。行ったこと無かったので訪問してみました。駐車場は無料です。道中狭い所があるので注意が必要です。駐車場すぐの売店で何か買わないと先には自販機無いので買っていった方がいいですね。トイレも済ませておきましょう。トイレもありません。入山料500円払ってから歩きますが結構急勾配です。途中休憩出来るベンチあるので無理せず歩きやすい靴で行きましょう。本堂までは30分位です。本堂の中も500円で見れます。写真撮影OKなので気兼ねなく見れます。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot leads to the approach road immediately, but from there it is a rather steep road. You should be prepared to take on the challenge, which seems to be the steepest of the 33 places in Saigoku. 🐕️ Climbing with you 3.40 minutes People who pass each other greet me at a good rate, so my heart is refreshed. (Maybe it meant that those who got off should do their best) Now you can worship the Buddha in the main hall for an admission fee of 500 yen. A truly valuable experience It washes my heart and went down the mountain (Original) 駐車場から直ぐに参道につながるが、そこからはかなり険しい道のり。 西国33ヵ所の中でも上位にくる険しさと思われる、覚悟をもって挑戦すべし 🐕️連れで登ること3・40分 ここはすれ違う方々が結構な割合で挨拶してきてくれたので心が清々しくなります (降りられてきた方は頑張んなさいよって意味も込めてたのかもね) 今は拝観料500円で本堂の仏様を拝ませて頂けます。実に貴重な体験 心洗われて下山

(Translated by Google) It happened that Sunday was a public holiday on this day, so after doing some preliminary research, I visited Saigoku No. 4 Fudasho by private car. It was past noon, but the parking lot for worshipers was also stopped. As everyone has commented, we will walk along a fairly tight approach to the shrine. I felt that it was the most difficult approach among the past 33 temples in Saigoku. what you really want Pay the entrance fee of 500 yen on the way and proceed. please. People who come and go say hello. I think it takes 30 minutes even if you have strong legs. While listening to the murmuring of the river and the chirping of birds Aim for the main hall. It is wrapped in a solemn atmosphere. You can take off your shoes and enter the main hall by paying an entrance fee of 500 yen. Smartphone shooting is also possible. You can see a large number of Buddha statues. I feel refreshed. I also received a goshuin along with the poem. It's a little tight, but it's worth seeing. (Original) この日はたまたま日曜日が公休となり、下調べのち、西国4番札所のこちらを自家用車にて訪問。お昼過ぎになりましたが、参拝者用駐車場も止めれました。 皆さんコメントされてる通りかなりきつい参道を歩いて進んで行きます。 過去の西国三十三ヶ所の中でも最高の厳しい参道と感じました。心して望む事を 途中入山料を500円支払って進みます。お願いします。 行き来する方が挨拶して下さいます。 健脚な方でも30分は要すかと思います。 川のせせらぎや鳥のさえずりを聴きながら 本堂を目指します。荘厳な雰囲気に包まれます。 本堂は拝観料500円を支払って靴を脱いで拝観できます。スマホ撮影も可です。 凄い数の仏像様が拝めます。清々しい気持ちになります。御朱印も御詠歌と共に頂きました。ちょっときついですが一見の価値有です。

(Translated by Google) There is free parking, a shop, and a restroom at Makiosan Sefukuji Temple and the trailhead. Entrance fee: 500 yen. The mountain trail, about 1,000m from the parking lot, is quite steep, making it difficult for elderly people. Some elderly people who were not confident with their legs went halfway and then turned back. If you're on a good foot, you can reach Sefukuji Temple in 30 minutes. (Original) 槇尾山施福寺、登山口に無料駐車場、売店、トイレがある。入山料500円。駐車場から約1000mの登山道は、かなり急坂のため、高齢者には難しい。足に自信がない高齢者は途中まで行って引き返す人もいた。健脚なら30分で施福寺に着くことができる。

(Translated by Google) After getting off the parking lot, climb up the mountain path. I usually run, so it was a good training session for me, but some people were screaming. It is best to wear clothes that are easy to move in, such as sports shoes. After paying the entrance fee (500 yen) in front of the main gate and climbing the mountain with Enyakora, the main hall Todou will appear. I don't think there was any particular feeling of wow lol. There is a smoking area in front of the main hall. You can enter the main hall, but there is an admission fee (500 yen). However, it was difficult to know where to pay. I myself ended up going in with a line of people who were coming in groups without even realizing that there was an admission fee in the first place. When I was giving sutras, an old lady suggested that I look inside the temple, and when I said, ``I've already seen it,'' she scolded me and said, ``You have to pay an admission fee.'' Of course, I also paid the admission fee along with the payment. It may be easier to understand if there is no group, but please be careful when meeting with a group. Please note that photography is allowed inside the main hall! (Original) 駐車場を降りてからそこそこの山道を登ります。私は普段ランニングしているので、トレーニングになりましたが、悲鳴をあげている方もおられました。運動靴等動きやすい格好で行かれるのがよいです。 山門前で入山料（500円）を支払いエンヤコラと山を登ると本堂等堂宇が現れます。 おぉーといった感動は特になかったかな笑 本堂の前に喫煙所があります。 本堂内に入れますが拝観料（500円）が必要です。が、どこで払うのか分かりづらかったです。 私自身、そもそも拝観料がいるのかどうか認識のないまま団体で来られている方が、続々と中へ入っていく列と一緒に入ってしまいました。 納経の際に「お堂の中も見てね」とおばさんに勧められたので「もう見たよ」と言ったら「拝観料要るのよ」と怒られました。 もちろん納経代と併せて拝観料も納めました。 団体さん居なければ分かりやすいのかもしれませんが、団体さんと鉢合わせのときは、ご注意ください。 なお、本堂内は撮影可です！

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine on a pilgrimage to Saigoku. We left in time for the temple to open at 8 a.m. As we approached the temple, there was a narrow road that was a little difficult to separate from, so on the road that was under construction, we detoured around the parking lot on the left and went to the farthest parking lot. I got it The owner of the souvenir shop? He just came to work and asked me to walk for about 30 minutes. You can start by paying the entrance fee at the mountain entrance reception. I was aware of previous information that Sefukuji Temple was a difficult place, but I could see an incredible road in front of me and it was a bad weather day with rain on and off, so I was disappointed that I came on this day. I got it Fortunately, the rain had stopped by the time I started climbing, so I climbed hard, using the long umbrella in my hand as a walking stick. After completing the first long stone staircase, a rickety hiking course begins, and I wonder how long it will last. not yet? Is this the path of life with its ups and downs? It's amazing that a temple could be built in such a place... There were no cranes or heavy machinery in ancient times... I'm really thinking about a lot of things, but I still haven't seen my husband walking in front of me from time to time. Can't you see the roof? I talked to... My husband was also concerned about his clumsy wife, who often stumbled while looking back. I was prepared for this steep road to continue on and on, so when I climbed the last set of stairs and caught a glimpse of what looked like the shrine grounds, I thought, ``Huh?'' Have you arrived yet? It felt surprisingly short. After taking a breather, I headed to the opposite side of the temple from where I could see the expansive view, thinking I could pray, but unfortunately due to the weather, all I could see was a pure white landscape due to the mist. When I regained my composure and went to the Buddhist temple, the person greeted me and said that I had visited the shrine often, and told me that it was my first time visiting the shrine. Can you visit Bato Kannon? Would you like to come inside while I take care of your Shuincho? I paid the entrance fee and went inside the temple as recommended. I really admired the parade of the Bato Kannon with a horse on his head, the eleven-faced thousand-armed Kanzeon Bodhisattva, the principal image of the Saigoku Temple, the Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the Hogai Kannon, all of which I was grateful for. There was an explanation that Bato Kannon was said to be beneficial for the legs and hips, so I made a lot of requests. Inside the temple, there was a dizzying array of attractions, and I was asked to feel free to take photos, so I didn't hesitate to take photos. I slowly walked around the hall and returned to the Nokyo-sho, where I saw that the goshuin stamps had all been completed. I went to the bio-toilet, a mountain hut-style toilet, to wash my hands before going down the mountain, but there was a sign saying that it would take time to dispose of the waste, and only one of the three toilets could be used. did When the two of us opened the door to take turns to relieve ourselves, we saw the toilet for the first time... It seems to be a pump type, but at the same time as the door opened, I suddenly saw the area under the toilet move, and something was moving! Maybe it's a strange creature? ! I was really scared, but I didn't go to the bathroom for about 3 hours from home to Sefukuji Temple, so I couldn't change my stomach! I took the plunge and relieved myself. I stuck my husband in front of the door (lol) I fully understand that the toilet situation is not good since it's on top of a mountain, but it was still scary... My husband, who has a weak stomach, went into the bathroom, muttering, "I'm leaving! I'm leaving now!" I finished my business without any hesitation and came out of the scary toilet feeling refreshed. I'm sorry to say it's a scary toilet, but if you don't like that type of toilet, I think it's best to finish your business at the foot of the mountain before visiting. I haven't rented the toilet at the foot of the mountain, so I don't know what the toilet situation is...I'm sorry. After saying hello to the person at Nokyojo, I headed down the mountain. On the way, a man came up and greeted me. Will I come to this temple again? I don't have the confidence to do it the second time. The journey home was filled with relaxed conversation. After visiting Sefukuji Temple, I said that I was no longer afraid of the temples that followed, but I also thought that Sefukuji Temple was a steep road and the toilet might be the most difficult part for me. I was grateful that I was able to return to the parking lot without any injuries or accidents despite the bad weather, and headed on to the next temple, Kazuidera Temple. thank you (Original) 西国巡礼で参拝しました 朝一番８時のお寺の始まる時間に合わせて出発、お寺が近付くと少しだけ離合困難な狭い道があり、工事中の道は左側の駐車場を迂回して１番奥にある駐車場まで行きました お土産屋さんのご主人？がちょうど出勤されて来て30分くらい歩きますよと声をかけてくれました 入山受付で入山料を納めたらスタートです 施福寺は難所、という前情報は承知していたけれど目前に途轍もない道が見えて雨が降ったり止んだりの悪天候の日だったのでこの日に来た事に、しまった…と思いました 幸い登り始めた時間には雨は止んでいて手に持つ長傘をお杖代わりに一生懸命登りました 最初の長い石段を終えると今度はガタガタのほぼハイキングコースが始まり、いつまで続くの？まだまだ？これって人生山あり谷ありの人生の道か？こんな所にお寺を建てるなんて…太古の昔はクレーンとか重機もなかったのにすごいわ… ほんとに色々な事を考えながら、時々前を歩く夫にまだ着かない？屋根とか見えない？と話しかけたり… 夫も後ろを振り返りながらよくつまづくドジ嫁を気にしてくれていました もっともっと延々とこの険しい道が続くと覚悟していたので最後の階段を登りながら境内らしい景色がちらりと見えた時は、え？もう到着か？と意外と短く感じました とりあえず一息着いてからお参りを、と景色の広がるお堂とは反対側へ進みましたがあいにくの天候でモヤがかかって真っ白な景色しか見えず… 気を取り直して納経所に行くと、よくお参り下さいましたとご挨拶をいただき今日初めてのご参拝ですと声をかけて下さいました 馬頭観音をお詣り出来ますよ？朱印帳をお預かりしている間に中に入られませんか？とオススメしていただきオススメのまま参拝料を納めてお堂の中へ ほんとに頭の上に馬を載せた馬頭観音様や西国札所の御本尊十一面千手千眼観世音菩薩様、弥勒菩薩様、方違観音様、有り難いオンパレードでじっくり見入ってしまいました 馬頭観音様は足腰に御利益があると説明書きがあったので特にたくさんのお願いをしました お堂の中には目まぐるしく見どころがあり写真撮影はご自由にどうぞとおっしゃって頂いたので遠慮知らずでカシャカシャ 堂内をゆっくり一周して納経所に戻ると御朱印もすっかり仕上げて頂いていました 下山前にお手洗いを済ませようとバイオトイレなる山小屋風のトイレへ行きましたが汚物を処理するのに時間がかかる…旨の案内が書かれていて３つあるトイレは１つだけ使用可能でした ２人で交代で用を済ませようと扉を開けると初めて見る便器が… 汲取式のようですが扉が開くのと同時に便器の下の辺りもふいに動くのが見えて、何かが動いた！変な生き物かも？！と凄く怖かったけれど自宅〜施福寺まで３時間くらいトイレに行っていない状態で背に腹は代えられない！と思い切って用を足しました 扉の前に夫を張り付かせて(笑) 山の上だからトイレ事情は決して良くないのは重々理解していますがやはり怖かった… お腹の弱い夫は出る出る〜もう出る〜とつぶやきながらトイレの中へ しっかりと何の戸惑いもなく用を済ませてハァすっきり〜と怖いトイレから出てきました 怖いトイレ、とは失礼ですがもしもそんなタイプのトイレが苦手な方は山の麓でしっかり用を済ませてからお参りするのが良いと思います 麓のトイレはお借りしていないのでどのようなトイレ事情かは不明ですが…すみません 納経所の方にご挨拶を済ませて山を下りました 途中お一人の男性が登って来られてご挨拶 このお寺、また来るのかなあ？ もう２度目は自信ないよ〜 帰路は余裕の会話を交わしながらの道のりでした 施福寺さんをお参りしたら後の札所はもう恐くないねと言いながら施福寺さんは険しい道のり＋私にとってはトイレも最難所かも…などと思うのでありました 悪天候なのにケガや事故なく無事に駐車場まで戻る事が出来たことに感謝し次の葛井寺へと向かいました ありがとうございました

(Translated by Google) The 4th temple among the 33 shrines in Saigoku. You have to go up a steep hill about 1 km from the parking lot, and the temple has been a place of disaster ever since Daigoji Temple's Jundai Hall was destroyed by lightning. It takes about 30 minutes and will make you sweat even in winter. It's a relief to see a mountain gate on the way, but there are still steep stairs in the beginning. The Sanmon gate was rebuilt 400 years ago by Toyotomi Hideyori. The principal image is Maitreya Nyorai, but the principal image at the temple is the Eleven-faced Thousand-Armed Kannon. (Original) 西国三十三か所の4番札所。駐車場から１km程度の急な坂を上る必要があり、醍醐寺の准提堂が落雷で焼失して以降は災難所の札所。30分程度かかり冬でも汗ばみます。途中で山門がありホッとしますが、まだ序盤で急な階段が続きます。山門は豊臣秀頼が400年前に再建したものです。本尊は弥勒如来ですが、札所の本尊は十一面千手観音像です。

(Translated by Google) Sefukuji Temple is said to be the most difficult of the 33 temples in Saigoku. The road to the Sanmon gate seemed to have been newly opened, so we arrived easily. However, as expected, it is the most difficult hurdle. From the Sanmon gate to the main hall, it's all uphill, stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs. lol I met some elderly people, and they were nice and gutsy✨ If you have trouble walking, I think it would be better to climb slowly and take about an hour. Sneakers or hiking shoes are required. And inside the main hall! ! There is an admission fee in addition to the entrance fee, but it was truly amazing ✨✨✨ Do your best and climb up to get the answer! ! Even though the main hall is not that big, it is definitely worth seeing. If there was a ropeway, if there was a ropeway (←I wrote it twice because it's important.LOL), it was a temple I would like to visit again and again. (Original) 西国三十三所の最難関と言われる施福寺。 山門までの道は新しくできたようで、すんなり辿り着きました。 が、さすが最難関。 山門から本堂までが、ひたすら登り坂と階段階段階段階段階段階段階段。笑 年配の方にもお会いしましたが、ナイスなガッツです✨ 足の悪い方は1時間くらいかけて、ゆっくり登るほうがいいと思います。 スニーカーor登山靴必須。 そして本堂内！！ 入山料とは別で拝観料が必要ですが、本当に素晴らしかったです✨✨✨ 頑張って登って正解！！ そこまで大きな本堂では無いのに、見応え抜群。 ロープウェイがあれば、ロープウェイがあれば(←大事なので2回書きました。笑)何度でも訪れたいお寺さんでした。

(Translated by Google) If you would like to visit the shrine by car, turn from Route 170 toward Mt. Makio, you will immediately see a sign, and the Mt. Mt. Makio Butsu Line will be on your left. If you read old blogs or other sources, it is written that Prefectural Route 228 (Makioyama Butsu Line) is a dead end, but the entire line has already been opened. It was a pleasant drive with gentle curves and no traffic lights. The road up to where it intersects with the old road along the Makio River is in good condition and was very easy to drive. The road ahead was a mountain road with few sharp curves, but there were many places where it was impossible to pass oncoming cars, so I was nervous as I drove. The parking lot at Sefukuji Temple is free, but hikers are not allowed to park there. There is a free restroom next to the store, but it's an old-fashioned, Japanese-style toilet, and it doesn't flush, so it's quite hard. The restrooms near the main hall are similar, so I highly recommend you do it before then. Once you pass this store, there are no drink vending machines, toilets, or trash cans. You can use canes here and at Sanmon for free. Before heading to the main hall, Fudo-sama and Mangan-no-taki Benten are enshrined on the right. We were able to see the waterfall up close. The entrance fee to the main hall is separate from the entrance fee, but you can get up close and admire the many impressive Buddha statues. And thankfully, it's OK to take pictures. If you leave your goshuin book with them, they will finish it for you while you are visiting. The people at the temple treat you very politely. I am grateful to everyone for their kind words of appreciation, saying that it must have been difficult. There was a bench in front of the main hall, and the view was excellent. I ate a light rice ball, rehydrated, took my trash home, and headed back down the mountain. From Senboku Route 1, I went from the Murodocho north intersection via Route 480 to the intersection with Route 170 and Makio Junior High School South. This road is a traditional winding, narrow road, so it is easier to drive by taking the Senboku Loop Line (Route 208) from Komyoike and then turning onto Route 480 at the Welcia intersection. (Original) 車で参拝させてもらうなら、１７０号線から槇尾山方面へ曲がると、すぐ案内標識があり、左方向が槇尾山仏並線です。 古いブログなどを読むと「その先は行き止まり」だと書かれている府道228号線（槇尾山仏並線）ですが、全線すでに開通しています。ゆるやかなカーブで信号もなく気持ちよいドライブができました。 槇尾川に沿った旧道と交差するところまではキレイに整備されていてとても運転は楽でした。 その先は山道で急カーブなどは少ないけど、対向車とすれ違いができないところも多くてドキドキしながら走りました。 施福寺の駐車場は無料ですが、ハイキングの方は停められません。売店横に無料のトイレがありますが、昔ながらの作りでもちろん和式、水洗ではなくかなりハードです。 本堂近くのトイレも似たようなものなので、それまでに済ませておくことを強く強くお勧めいたします。 この売店を過ぎると、ドリンクの自販機もトイレもゴミ箱もありません。杖はこちらと山門でも無料で使えるものがあります。 本堂に向かう前に、右手にお不動様と満願の滝の弁天様が祭られています。滝を間近で見られました。 本堂の拝観料は入山料とは別に必要ですが、ものすごく間近で迫力ある数々の仏像を拝めます。しかも有り難いことに撮影もOKです。御朱印帳などを預けておけばお参りしている間に仕上げてもらえました。 お寺の方はとても丁寧に接してくださいます。大変だったでしょう、など皆さんにねぎらいの言葉を掛けてくださって有り難い限りです。 本堂前にはベンチがあり見晴らしも抜群でした。軽くおにぎりを食べて水分補給もして、ゴミを持ち帰って下山です。 泉北１号線からは室堂町北の交差点から４８０号線を経由して、１７０号線との交差点・槇尾中学校南まで行きました。 この道は昔ながらの曲がりくねった細い道なので、光明池から泉北環状線（208号線）を経由して、ウエルシアのある交差点で４８０号線に入るほうが楽に運転できます。

A must visit place in Izumi. Whole year round beautiful flowers❤️

I visited this place when the sunflowers blooming—but sadly I couldn't get the right timing (because many sunflowers petals already withered). The field itself has different monthly flowers that they grow—in e.g. for july-august they grow sunflowers and for september they'll grow cosmos. I think I will visit here again on the right timing later. The place is not far from the city and there are also ice cream, smoothies, and vending machines so you don't need to worry about getting any beverage if you feel thirsty.

Better to go there when you have a car. The road from the Noke Bus Stop to the park is uphill and steep and me and my friends just walked the way. The park though is very eye candy. Lots of flowers in bloom. Perfect for having a picnic!

So beautiful.. 🥰😍

It's July and the weather is so hot.

Beautiful places

Huge gardens and park areas. Charming local spot.

(Translated by Google) It was a facility where you can learn about life and customs during the Yayoi period. The quantity and quality of the exhibits are high. In connection with agriculture, unevenness and kuni were formed, and it seems that wars were occurring frequently due to the difference between rich and poor and the difference in power. I noticed that it is not much different from modern society. There is an exhibition of Himiko, which is a reproduction of life at that time. In addition, there were many video materials and the number of visitors was small at the time of the visit, so I was able to watch them carefully. I was surprised that Yayoi people had a much more global perspective than modern people because of the large scale of people's lives and exchanges with the continent. It was a very good museum. (Original) 弥生時代の生活、風俗を学べる施設でした。展示の量、質ともに高いものになっています。農業との関わりで、ムラやクニが形成され、やがて貧富の差、力の差により戦が頻発していたようです。現代社会とあまり変わらない点に気付かされました。卑弥呼の展示があり、まさに当時の生活を再現したものになっています。 また、映像資料が多数あり、訪問時に入館者が少なかったので、じっくり視聴できました。このような時代の人々の生き様や大陸との交流などスケールが大きく、現代人よりもずっとグローバルな視点を弥生人が持っていたことにおどろきました。大変よい博物館でした。

Very interesting. Not overly large but had some very nice exhibits. Also had a nice pamphlet in English.

(Translated by Google) There is no falsehood on the signboard. A unique museum where you can learn everything about the Yayoi period. You can see the relics of famous archaeological sites not only in Osaka but also in the whole country such as the famous Ikegami Sone Ruins. I never get tired of seeing the elaborate models that allow me to imagine the state of Yamatai and rice cultivation. (Original) 看板に偽りなし。弥生時代のことなら、すべて学べる唯一無二のミュージアム。あまりにも有名な池上曽根遺跡など大阪のだけではなく、全国の名高い遺跡の遺物を見ることができる。邪馬台国や稲作の様子を想像できる精巧な模型も見ていて飽きない。

(Translated by Google) The museum is not too big and is located on the entire second floor of the building. Half of the space introduces the Yayoi period, and the other half introduces the nearby Ikegami Sone historical site. You can ask the staff to provide free electronic voice navigation in English or Japanese, and the staff will ask you to register your name and contact number. (Original) 博物館不算大，位於建築物的2樓全層。一半空間介紹彌生時期，另一半介紹附近的池上曾根史跡。可主動要求職員提供免費的英文或日文的電子聲音導航，職員會要求登記姓名及聯絡電話。

(Translated by Google) It was a local facility, but I didn't have many opportunities to go there, but I decided to visit it this time. It's a very beautiful facility and seems to be a place where events and concerts are held. A special exhibition on the Yayoi period was being held. There are also plans for a concert in February, so It's close so I'm thinking of going again. (Original) 地元にある施設でしたが、行く機会が余り無かったのですが、今回伺いました。 とても綺麗でイベントやコンサートなども開催される場所になっているそうで、素敵な施設でした。 弥生時代の特別展示が開催されていました。 2月はコンサートの予定もあるそうですので、 近いので又行ってみようと思います。

(Translated by Google) Osaka Prefectural Yayoi Culture Museum. From the Jomon period to the Yayoi period. Would you like to take a peek into the time of our ancestors? (Original) 大阪府立弥生文化博物館です。 縄文時代から弥生時代へ。 我らの祖先の時代を覗いて見ませんか？

(Translated by Google) Admission fee is low and parking is free🆓 There were some interesting things, including things discovered from the nearby Ikegami Sone ruins. On the other hand, I don't think the structure of the museum itself is that great. I think the best part of museums is that the exhibits and explanations match, so from that point of view I was disappointed. For me, it is difficult to see the flow of the Yayoi period. In times like these, there are so many unknowns, so it can't be helped. Apparently it's free for elementary school students and younger. There were historical manga books in the lobby. (Original) 入場料も安く、駐車場も無料です🆓 近くにある池上曽根遺跡からの発見されたものなどあり興味深いものがありました。 一方、博物館自体の構成はあまりかなと。 展示物と解説がマッチしてるのが博物館の醍醐味やと思ってるから、その点から見たら物足りない。 自分としては弥生時代の流れが見えにくい。 こういう時代は不明な点が多いから仕方ないのもあるでしょうけど。 小学生以下無料らしいです。 ロビーには歴史のマンガ本ありました。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time because a museum concert was being held. I visited the venue for about 30 minutes before the concert, but I only had time to see half of it. It will take about an hour and a half to see everything! (Original) ミュージアムコンサートが開催されたので初めて行きました。 コンサート前に３０分ほど見学しましたが 半分しか見る時間は無かったです。 全て見るなら一時間半は掛かりそう！

(Translated by Google) A museum that mainly explains historical sites around the facility. The exhibition is on the second floor. (Original) 施設周辺の史跡を中心に解説した博物館。 展示は2階。

(Translated by Google) This is the second generation. The museums I visited when I was a child had a very scary atmosphere, but I thought this facility would completely change my perspective. Even just a quick tour of the ruins, including the actual ruins, detailed replicas, restored buildings and costumes, models and imaginary drawings, brought to mind what it was like back then. I am humbled by the people involved who have spent decades amassing knowledge, connecting the dots. By the way, since it is an Osaka prefectural facility, the ``Yamataikoku Kinai theory'' is highly recommended. (Original) アラ還世代です。子供の頃に見学した遺跡資料館などは何ともおどろおどろしい雰囲気だったのですが、そんな見識を一新させる施設だと思いました。遺跡の実物や精巧なレプリカ、復元された建物や衣装、模型や想像図など、サラッと見学しただけでも当時の様子が頭に浮かんできました。何十年もかけて、点と点を繋げるように、知を集積されてきた関係者の方々に頭が下がりました。ところで、大阪府立の施設だけあって『邪馬台国畿内説』激推しですね。

definitely, worth to visit!

(Translated by Google) The vegetation in the garden was cleanly maintained, and we were able to move smoothly to the new building, hall, and main building. I felt the chicness of the handle of the main building door with the motif of daffodil flowers. The admission fee is 500 yen for general students, and 300 yen for high school students is cheap. (Original) 庭園の草木など清潔に手入れされてあり新館、ホール、本館への移動もスムーズに往来できました。本館ドアの取っ手が水仙の花をモチーフにされているところに粋を感じました。入館料も一般500円 高校生300円は安いと感じます。

Good!

(Translated by Google) First of all, the building is amazing. It has the feel of a mansion turned into a museum, the garden is lovely, and the acoustics of the concert hall are outstanding. There is an exhibition of old maps, and it's fun to see Osaka (Osaka) and Saccai (Sakai) listed on maps from the 17th and 18th centuries. I was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of first-class paintings by artists such as Renoir. The parking lot is large and you can park as much as you like for free, but if you are going by bus from Izumi Chuo, please be careful as there are few buses. Even if it is a beautiful main street, walking back is uphill. On days when there were no concerts, it was very empty and seemed like a good place to relax. (Original) まず建物が素晴らしいです。お屋敷が美術館になった雰囲気で、お庭も素敵だし、コンサートホールの音響効果も抜群です。 古地図の展示があり、17〜18世紀の地図に大坂(大阪)やSaccai (堺)が載っているのは楽しいです。いきなりルノワール等の一流絵画が出て来たのも、度肝を抜かれました。 駐車場は広く、無料で停め放題ですが、バスで和泉中央から行く場合は、本数が少ないから要注意です。綺麗な大通りでも、歩いて戻ると上り坂です。 コンサートが無い日は、とても空いていてゆっくり出来そうでした。

(Translated by Google) I think the museum is famous for its ukiyo-e collection, and I think it has a very good collection of quality works. I think that the collection other than ukiyo-e is also a wonderful collection, with excellent works donated and purchased. However, I think that more people would come if it had better access, so I thought it would be great if a small exhibition facility could be built in front of the station. However, the parking lot is free and spacious, so it's a great place to go by car. (Original) 浮世絵コレクションが有名だとおもいますが、質量ともにとても良いものが蒐集されている美術館だとおもいます。浮世絵以外のコレクションも優良な作品の寄贈や購入でとても素晴らしいコレクションとなっていると思います。ただもう少しアクセスが良いともつと人がたくさんきてもらえると思うので駅前に小さな展示施設でも作ってもらえるととても良いとおもいました。ただ、駐車場は無料で広いので車で行くととても良いところでした。

(Translated by Google) First published in February 2023 I went to the Kuboso Memorial Museum of Art in Izumi City to see "The Tale of Genji Handbook - Heart-pounding Genji Pictures." Although this exhibition was outside of my scope, I felt that it was a great companion. Personally, I found the piano concert held at Kuboso Ei Hall, which is attached to the museum, to be more interesting. It seems like a great deal to be able to listen to a concert with this content for just the admission fee. It seems like there's some kind of concert going on almost every weekend, so I'd definitely check the schedule and go again. (Original) 2023年2月初記 和泉市久保惣記念美術館へ「源氏物語手鑑－ときめきの源氏絵－」を観に行きました。私の守備範囲外の展覧会ですが、連れ合いは大変良かったとの感想でした。私的には美術館内に併設されている「久保惣Eiホール」で行われていたピアノコンサートのほうが興味深かったです。この内容で入館料のみでコンサートが聴けるとはとってもお得な印象です。ほぼ毎週末何らかのコンサートが行われているようなのでスケジュールを確認してまたぜひ行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) A friend of mine told me that there was an exhibition going on. I have a disability certificate, so it was free. There was also a piano concert, and I had a great time listening to the beautiful sounds up close. (Original) 知り合いに、展覧会があると教えてもらって来ました。私は障害者手帳があるので、無料でした。ピアノコンサートもあって、綺麗な音を間近で聴けて気持ち良い時間を過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) I visited on foot from Izumi Chuo, and although there were detailed signs leading to Miyanokami Park, when I left the park, I found myself on a narrow road with a farm road exposed, and there was a lot of traffic, which was a little disappointing. The exhibits were interesting, but the Tea Room was a mysterious projection room and there were a lot of restricted areas, so it wasn't very relaxing. (Original) 和泉中央から徒歩で伺いましたが、宮ノ上公園内までは丁寧な案内表示がありましたが、公園を出ると農道丸出しの幅員の狭い車道で、交通量も多くちょっとガッカリ。展示は面白かったですが、Teaルームは謎の映写室になっているし、進入禁止区域が矢鱈多く、あまり寛げませんでした。
