Nagaoka Park

Nice park for long walk or jogging. If you're going by bike it's quite uphill road.

Natural and shooting place.

天気のいい日はすごい人出です。毎朝夕は犬の散歩に来たマダムたちがたくさん。家族連れや団体で舗装を歩かれると追い越せない。時間がかち合った場合、走りたい方はその外側の草の上を行きますね。 コロナ禍、この人出は嫌だなあと。 夏の夜や早朝、虫の観察にいいですね。 知らない方も多いですが、公園脇の道路は駐車スペースではありません。たまにパトカーが見回りに来て、車をどかすようマイクでアナウンスしますよ。面倒でも駐車場へ。その駐車場は、AGカフェに行く方が停めてしまうのかもだけど。

The Buddhist temple adjacent to this park is the starting point of the Toyogo Mahoroba Road. This Buddhist temple is unexpectedly unknown, but it is quite huge when viewed from a close distance. Nagaoka Park is made by reclaiming waste, and there are Higan cherry blossoms and cypress trees that have become quite large trees. There is a lawn ground in the center, which is a playground for small children. There are many courses, including a circuit road paved with concrete up to 1.5km, and some people enjoy running or take a walk. In some parts of the north, erythronium blooms in spring. Looking north while looking at this park on the left, there is a path leading to Nishigaoka Hospital. If you go here for a while, turn right without going to the hospital and go down the gentle slope, you will hit the Utsunomiya Ring Road. After crossing the push button signal here, you will arrive at the parking lot, which is Nagaoka Hyakuana. Nagaoka Hyakuana is thought to be a horizontal hole tomb built around the early 7th century, and a total of 52 horizontal holes, 44 in the eastern group and 8 in the western group, are dug in the tuff facing the south. The road of Toyosato Mahoroba further passes through the museum and continues to Kitayama Cemetery.

It is a park in a quiet residential area near the center of Utsunomiya city. It is a place for citizens to relax, such as walking with dogs and walking. Depending on the season, you can enjoy many flowers such as cherry blossoms and osmanthus fragrans.
