Located in Kinko Town, “Hanaze Nature Park” is a hidden nature resort whose charm lies in an overwhelming structural beauty: across a 100-meter-wide and 2-kilometer-long riverbed of the Hanaze River flowing through a lush forest, a flat, cobblestone-like bedrock spreads in an orderly fashion, looking as if light green tatami mats have been laid out. It is a prestigious scenic spot that lords of the feudal Satsuma Domain frequently visited to hold banquets during the Edo period; the sight of pure water gently sliding over the flat rock surface radiates a traditional beauty akin to a Japanese painting. With beautiful walking trails and campsites developed nearby, it is the premier hidden gem for international travelers who wish to stay far away from urban hustle and be quietly healed by the pleasant murmuring of water and rich seasonal nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
