Overview

Yumori Park is located in Kawakami, Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, nestled in the Yumori Valley, along the Kawakami River, a tributary of the Kiso River. Developed in 1960 by the former Kawakami Village, it's part of Gifu Prefecture's Ura Kiso Quasi-National Park. The park features five waterfalls—Ryujin-no-taki, Wasure-uroko-no-taki, Douana-no-taki, Aze-taki, and Hitotsu-taki—making it perfect for waterfall hiking. Two campgrounds are available, complete with bungalows, ensuring a comfortable stay for families. In spring, Yumori Park explodes with cherry blossoms and azaleas, while the summer months offer respite from the heat in the cool, clear streams. Autumn paints the valley in breathtaking hues with over 15,000 maple trees. The abundance of maple trees is a recent phenomenon, fueled by the area’s history as a Kiso cypress producer. The annual 'Yumori Momiji Matsuri' (Autumn Leaves Festival) typically takes place in early November. Yumori Park offers a wealth of activities in its natural setting, from hiking and camping to fishing. It's a park perfect for everyone, from children to adults—a must-visit destination.
