Higashiyama Forest Park / Shimoyoneda Sakura no Mori

This forest park stretches northeast where the Hida and Kiso rivers meet. Inside the 23-hectare park, there are around 4,000 meters of walking paths. It is known as a great flower viewing spot with around 5700 flowers from 35 species planted. During early to mid-April when the Edo-higanzakura cherry and hill cherry among other flowers are in bloom, the place is crowded with many sightseers. There are also resting spots and gazebos, so it is also fun to have a leisurely walk around. From the Hakusan Observary, you can see where the Hida River and Kiso River meet, as well as the city and the mountains such as Mt. Ontake.
