Takaragaike Park

A playground for children and a place to relax [Takaragaike Park]

It was built in the mid-Edo period as a reservoir for irrigation.Houga PondPark]. In 1961, it was decided to construct the Kyoto International Conference Center on the adjacent north side of the park, and the Children's Paradise, the Iris Garden, the Forest of Relaxation, the Cherry Blossom Forest, the North Garden, and the Wild Bird Forest were successively developed, making the park a place of recreation and relaxation for citizens as it is today. After it was decided in 1961 that the Kyoto International Conference Center would be built on the adjacent north side, the Children's Paradise, Iris Garden, Cherry Blossom Forest, North Garden, and Wild Bird Forest were developed one after another, and the park became a recreational area for citizens.
Centered around Takaragaike Pond, the natural scenery is beautiful as it changes from season to season. In spring, some 660 Someiyoshino cherry trees and weeping cherry trees planted in the cherry blossom forest and along the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom with the satoyama as a backdrop. In the fall, the maple trees and maples change color, and in December, after the best viewing period in late November, you can see the beautiful sight of the scattered autumn leaves spreading out like a carpet.
