Instructor recommended peripheral points

Hilltop-farm

food.pngHill Top Farm is located on the top of a hill quietly off the Route 173, about 5 minutes from the forest park. It is an Italian restaurant with an impressive lodge-like building surrounded by trees, next to a blueberry farm. The pasta and pizza here can be enjoyed as warm as the restaurant. "Blueberry pie" for dessert is the best with crispy pie and sweet and sour blueberry sauce! Perfect for preparing your stomach before and after the tour.

Fukuya headquarters, workshop directly managed store

food.pngA long-established Japanese confectionery store founded 90 years ago. Black sesame strawberry Daifuku is also popular, but the basic mitarashi peony dango is not only sweet and sour in soy sauce, but also contains eggplant in a soft bowl. Katsu is also recommended, and it seems to be pleased with souvenirs.

Yoshimi Hundred Holes

activity.pngThere are old burial mounds in this area, and among them, the burial burial mounds designated as historical sites as an important cultural property of the country. The myriad holes in the rocky mountain create a unique atmosphere like an ancient fortress. After that, Hikarigoke, which emits light in the dark, grows naturally and is considered a natural monument. Studying history and living things.

user review

Real_col_Memo.pngI would like to study very much, enjoy Segway and participate again. Thank you very much.
Real_col_Memo.pngIt was interesting because there weren't many opportunities to look at the swamp slowly.
Real_col_Memo.pngIn addition to the fun of Segway, you can understand the functions of satoyama, the current state and past of the pond, and the ecosystem.
Real_col_Memo.pngIt was a tour where you can talk about the changing seasons in the park for each point, and the photos and other materials are easy to understand.
Real_col_Memo.pngIf there is a part that should be reviewed in other places as well, I would like you to do it.
Real_col_Memo.pngDiversity of the ecosystem is maintained by adding human hands while having fun.
