Insider tips

Bring a portable sunshade or canopy if you plan to spend time in the open lawn areas as shade is limited.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the perimeter loop around the lake is significant in length.

Visit during the shoulder seasons to avoid the intense humidity and heat common to the Okayama basin in mid-summer.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim or fish in the central lake as it is prohibited for safety and ecological reasons.
