Frequently Asked Questions

開園時間は季節によって異なりますが、通常は午前8時から日没まで（最終入園は日没60分前）となっております。The grove opens daily from 8:00 AM until dusk, with last entry one hour before sunset; exact hours shift gently with the seasons, so we recommend checking the visitor guide before your journey.

入園は無料でご利用いただけます。ガイド付き散策や特別なプログラムのみ、別途お申し込みが必要です。General entry to the grove and its trails is free of charge. Only guided walks and select seasonal programs require advance booking and a small participation fee.

リードをつけていただければ、犬などのペットとご一緒にご来園いただけます。排泄物は各自でお持ち帰りください。Leashed dogs are welcome on most trails. We kindly ask owners to carry waste bags and to keep pets away from the shallow brook areas where wildlife gathers.

個人利用の範囲での撮影は自由です。三脚の使用や商業撮影を希望される場合は、事前にお問い合わせください。Personal photography is welcome throughout the grove. For tripods, drones, or commercial shoots, please contact us in advance so we can coordinate around quieter hours.

ガイド付き散策は少人数制で、事前予約制となっております。詳細は「Guided Walks」のページよりご確認いただけます。Guided walks run in small groups led by local naturalists and require advance reservation. Please see our Guided Walks page for upcoming dates and themes.

雨天時も基本的には開園しておりますが、増水や強風の際は一部トレイルを閉鎖することがございます。The grove generally remains open in light rain — indeed, mist and rain reveal a different beauty here. In cases of heavy rainfall or high water, certain streamside trails may be temporarily closed for safety.

主要な遊歩道は舗装されており、ベビーカーや車椅子でもご利用いただけます。ただし丘陵部の一部の小径は石段や勾配があり、歩きやすい靴をおすすめします。The main riverside promenade is paved and stroller/wheelchair friendly. Some upper woodland paths involve stone steps and gentle slopes, so sturdy footwear is recommended there.

敷地内に台数限定の駐車場がございます。紅葉や桜の時期は満車になりやすいため、公共交通機関のご利用をおすすめしております。A limited number of on-site parking spaces are available, though they fill quickly during cherry blossom and autumn foliage season — we recommend arriving by train and bus during those weeks. See our Access & Map page for details.

四季それぞれに異なる魅力がございます。春は桜、夏は深緑と涼やかな水音、秋は紅葉、冬は静寂に包まれた雪景色をお楽しみいただけます。Each season offers something different — spring cherry blossoms, cool green shade in summer, brilliant autumn foliage, and hushed snow-dusted quiet in winter. There is truly no single "best" time; only the season that speaks to you.
