Mizunomarufureai Park

You can enjoy a 360 ° panoramic view. There are things that can only be understood by the person who went, and cannot be fully conveyed by the photo. It was a little disappointing because there were a lot of clouds after the rain, but on a clear day I think I can see beyond.

The park itself is not a big deal. There is a place where you can take off your paraglider 7-8 minutes up from the park. There are no trees around and you can see far away, so you can enjoy the scenery if the weather is nice.

It is a scenic spot that has been selected as one of the 88 Shikoku Views. It is also one of Japan's leading paraglider bases, and it seems that the Asian Games were held in 2010. There are no trees on the mountaintop, and you can see 360 ​​degrees in the lawn open space. Especially on the north side, the Yoshino River can be overlooked behind the Asan Mountains and you can enjoy a varied view. On this day, I was able to talk with the paraglider pilot. It seems that he took off from here and flew for about two hours before returning to here. If the airflow is good, it may fly back over the Asan mountains to the inside of the Seto area. Paraglider was the same as a paratrooper, so I thought it would be the end of the flight, but he said that he would climb to a higher altitude than the takeoff point and fly several tens of kilometers. I did not know! To get here, climb the mountain road for about an hour from the national highway along the Yoshino River. There were some narrow places where you couldn't pass each other, so I was careful when driving. The way was from prefectural road 246, and the way back was via line 258, but the return road was wider and easier. There is also Totoro no Taki Waterfall Park on the way, so it looks good for a break. If anything, I recommend going via Route 258.

Great location on a sunny day. It's perfect for taking off. There are some places where the road from the foot is bad. You can come by regular car.

If you go up the path next to the parking lot, you will reach the top of the water circle. This is also a paragliding take-off spot, a place that people know so much that the national competitions and Asian championships are held.
