    Mt. Chimyo casts its shape on the surface of Hitokura Dam, and Hitokura Park is a municipal facility at the foot of the mountain. It's divided into four zones: a Waterside Zone, a Hill Zone, a Mountain Zone, and a Nature Center. You can stroll around the reservoir in the Waterside Zone, taking in the beautiful water and its natural surroundings. The hill zone has a wide-open lawn that's great for playing ball or enjoying obstacle courses. A grove of double weeping rosebud cherry trees spreads through the Mountain Zone, making it a good spot to see the seasonal changes. Visit the Nature Center to learn about the Hitokura area's natural environment through workshops and its Ranger Corner.

    標高753mの表示がありけっこう高いところに来たとは思っていました。しかしながら、大阪平野から真北に数十キロメートル進んでいましたので、まさかここから海が見えるとは思いませんでした。 上手くいけば、ハワイが見えるかもしれないと思ってしまいました。

    昔の篠山地方裁判所の建物を歴史美術館として活用されています。館長さんはとても話し好きで親切に対応してくれます。写真撮影ができるのはロビーと旧法廷のみです。展示資料の種類は意外と多く、展示の資料説明も詳しくわかりやすくなっています。縄文弥生時代から近現代までの陶器や刀、絵画などが所狭しと展示されています。見ごたえある作品ばかりで時間が過ぎるのを忘れてしまいそうです。旧法廷はコンパクトな造りで、当時の...

    時間もたっぷりあり、たくさん食べました! 駐車場にはトイレもあって(和式紙なし)我が家は、助かりました! 駐車場も広くていいですよ! しいて言えば、畑ですので、オムツを替えたりするところは在りません。 ベビーカーも、工夫が必要かな?? (でも、車でしか行けないので必要なら車でいいかなと思います) あと、中はビニールハウスなので暑いです。服装の調節を考えて!
