Yamanobe-no-Michi Hanadani, which spreads through the quiet residential area of Tenri City, is a place where you can fully enjoy the magnificent natural scenery that changes with the seasons. While strolling along the path surrounded by colorful flowers, you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and taste a moment of tranquility.
Yamanobe-no-Michi, once a route for local buses, has been transformed into a beautiful flower garden by local volunteers. Roses, cosmos, pansies, and other seasonal flowers are planted, creating an 800m-long walkway that becomes a colorful tunnel.
As you proceed, you'll encounter green gardens, ponds, and streams, and a majestic natural landscape unfolds before your eyes. Walking amidst the fragrance of flowers, listening to the rustling of the leaves and the clear sound of flowing water, the stroll will surely calm your heart.
The local citizens involved in creating the flower garden actively participate in traditional events, such as cultivating and maintaining the flowers and using them for decorations during local festivals. During the peak season for flowers, events like calligraphy performances by local elementary school students are held, providing various opportunities to experience the local culture.
Bench seats are set up inside the park, making it a great spot to spread out a picnic. Spending a relaxing time while being gently caressed by the seasonal breeze is truly a luxurious experience.
Yamanobe-no-Michi Hanadani is within walking distance from Tenri Station. The park is open all day, but it's wise to avoid visiting during the peak season or for nighttime strolls. The beauty of the flowers in full bloom is exceptional, and the park is definitely worth a visit. This precious place where you can fully savor the natural charm of Tenri is definitely worth a visit.
