Daisekirinzan

Reviewed By JulianaChuasl - Singapore, Singapore

Daisenkirinzan - a forested nature park with fantastic geological formations is a great place for children and adults to be free-spirited; allowing creativity to see what you want to see in the amazing rock formations. There are natural formations that look like a cat, a T-Rex, a gorilla, a crocodile; a place where you see what your eyes want you to see. The trails are clearly marked and easy to walk. There are thoughtful gestures like walking sticks/wooden staff and umbrellas provided by the park. The stone museum at the end of the walk is well curated and informative. The best part of this museum is that you can touch the exhibits.

Forest Yanbaru Subtropical

Reviewed By stan_hutchings - Karuizawa-machi, Japan

There are several very nice roads (more like wide trails) through the forest. Google Maps will show the locations in Kise, near the Ritz Carlton and Marriott hotels. One of the most interesting is the trail from the Atta Terrace Club East Tower going east, following the sign to the garden. The ones near the Ritz Carlton and Marriott are sprinkled with the Okinawa graves that look like small mausoleums. My wife was somewhat creeped out by how many there were along the road between Kise and Ritz Carlton. I thought being buried in such a pleasant place should result in friendly spirits, if any were indeed there. The walk was pleasant on a sunny December day, when the temperature was in the 60s.
