The park is situated adjacent to the Nojiri-ko reservoir, which was created by damming the Oyodo River.
Nojirikopia translates conceptually to a place of local recreation, functioning as a 'copy' of a leisure-focused landscape.
The facility is positioned within the broader Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park region, known for volcanic topography.
Nojirikopia is an outdoor leisure facility in Kobayashi, Miyazaki, centered around a large-scale artificial lake and expansive recreational grounds. The site features a notable suspension bridge providing views across the Nojiri-ko reservoir area. Visitors can engage in seasonal activities such as pedal boating on the water and traversing manicured parkland. The grounds include dedicated spaces for local product shopping and dining. The facility serves as a regional hub for nature-focused recreation in the Kirishima mountain foothills. The park landscape is designed to highlight the scenery of the surrounding rural valley.

Bring polarized sunglasses to reduce glare when viewing the reservoir from the suspension bridge.
Check the weather forecast for wind speeds, as high winds can occasionally lead to the suspension of boat operations.
Allocate time to browse the local agricultural market for regional Miyazaki produce.
Do not attempt to swim in the reservoir, as it is restricted for safety and operational reasons.
Closed on Tuesdays; if a Tuesday falls on a public holiday, the facility typically remains open and closes the following day.
