Nishiki Onuma Park
Enjoy a variety of activities year-round, including hiking, camping, canoeing, and smelt fishing.
Located at the tip of the Tarumae Hills, this expansive nature-filled park spans 236 hectares and offers year-round activities for all ages. Centered around the scenic Nishiki Onuma and Nishiki Konuma ponds, the park features sprawling lawns, an arboretum, and an iris garden. Facilities include an auto-camping site, canoeing, park golf, and athletic playgrounds, making it a hub for outdoor recreation.
The walking trails around the ponds are a highlight, with Nishiki Konuma offering a 1.6 km loop and Nishiki Onuma a 3.5 km course. Depending on the route, the walk takes between 20 to 50 minutes, with picturesque bridges and viewing platforms to admire the surrounding nature.
In summer, visitors can enjoy canoeing and the vibrant iris blossoms, while winter (late January to late February) brings the unique experience of smelt fishing on the frozen pond. After a day of activities, unwind in the park’s natural open-air hot spring, Yunomi no Yu, with its soothing, free-flowing waters.
