Hands down one of the best parks I've ever visited in Japan.

(Translated by Google) Free parking along the road overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Many surfers parked their cars. It is kind to be able to wash a board and a wet suit with a shower in the attached toilet. Opposite is the Daikakuken next Katsuura store, and when it cools down in the sea, you can eat the original Katsuura Tantan soba noodles to warm your body. (Original) 太平洋を見下ろせる道沿いの無料駐車場。多くのサーファーが車を停めている。併設されるトイレにはシャワーが設備されボードやウェットスーツを洗えるのが親切。向かいには大勝軒next勝浦店があって、海で冷えたらこの店オリジナルの勝浦タンタンつけそばを食べて体を温めるといい。

(Translated by Google) It is a coast at the end of three tunnels going south on Route 128. Surfing Mecca (Original) 国道１２８号を南下し、３つのトンネルを抜けた先にある海岸です。 ?サーフィン?‍♂️?️のメッカ?‍♀️

(Translated by Google) When you pass through the tunnel from the direction of Onjuku, the beautiful coastline of about 1.5km jumps in front of you. That is the Club Harahara. The Onjuku and Moriya beaches are almost invisible from the national highway, so it is the best view you can see from the train window. The waves on both sides of the coast are suitable for surfing, but the central part used to be a beach, so it was a relatively calm wave. Fishing is good, you can take a quiet walk, and feel the sea breeze that changes from season to season. (Original) 御宿方面からトンネルを抜けると弓なりの美しい約1.5km 海岸線が目の前に飛び込んできます。そこが部原海岸です。御宿海岸や守谷海岸も国道からはほとんど見えないので、外房で車窓から眺められる一番の景色です。海岸の両側は、サーフィンに適した波ですが、中央部は昔、海水浴場になっていたので、比較的穏やかな波です。釣りも良し、静かに散策するも良し、季節ごとに違う海風を感じて下さい。

Omiya park one of site seeing place in cherry blossoms seasons in Saitama- prefecture. Time to visit is usually After mid of March to April month the right time to visit. Wonderful experience . . . .

Went on 22Mar, Sakura was in full bloom and picnic is definitely the best way to enjoy the beauty. Crowd starts to come in from noon, by late evening it got really crowded. Bonus, there was a playground, free mini zoo and a small amusement park. It kept the kids occupied the whole day in the park.

One of great places to see cherry blossoms in Saitama prefecture. There are some stalls to buy snacks and food in the park. Walk along the pond is very pleasant.

It’s a very nice park to spend your time. I jogged around the park and enjoyed people watching. Lots of parents brought their children dressed in their best to the shrine. The pond is currently under maintenance- no water. There’s one thing that bothers me a lot- all the animals at the zoo looks so sad to the point I can feel their sadness and frustrations. 😥😥😥😭😭

Great place to spend the afternoon. From the magnificent Hikawa Shrine complex to the beautiful Japanese garden nearby to a pretty impressive free zoo.

(Translated by Google) In fact, I thought it was sloppy instead of loose (^ ^; (Original) 実は、へばらではなくぶばらだと思ってた(^^;

(Translated by Google) The terrain has changed, and the old, big waves don't come. (Original) 地形が変わって、昔のような、大きな波が来ません。

Beautiful and perfect park, to have a walk, exercise, admire the view, eat a snack (it has some sellers), playground for kids and a small zoo. Just perfect!

A very nice parc with cherry blossoming trees. Offers a nice walk and is a good spot for a brunch. Very good also for familes. There is a zoo in the parc, with a free access, where you can see a black Japanese bear. A bonsai museum is nearby. I recommend.

Best place for Hanami. Make sure to visit early so that you can have a picnic with Sakura blossom.

One of the best place around omiya to have picnic under the Sakura trees..

An amazing open space park, located next to a lake and temple. Lots of open dirt areas to sit under the cherry blossoms in Spring, as per my photos. The paths were lined with lots of street food and festival games. The park can become extremely busy.

Absolutely beautiful park with so much too see and do. You can just stroll through and read about the various trees or visit one of the many event spaces; including archery, cycling, soccer, baseball, etc. There's even a free zoo. I thoroughly enjoy Omiya Park and I think you will too.

The park is adjacent to Hikawa Jinja, a famous shrine very much worth visiting. After the visit I enjoyed strolling through the park with it's Japanese garden, old and sturdy trees, kids playground, ponds and benches.

Lovely peaceful park with plenty of walks and places to sit.

One of the best park to see Sakura blossom and try street food during the Sakura festival.

Nice place for Sakura and summer season

Very nice place with many beautiful shrines ?

I had the chance to go to the WabiSabi festival in Omiya Park on my last trip, and it was wonderful. The grounds are beautifully kept, and it's a wonderful feeling to be completely surrounded by nature while walking through. If you are in the area and have the chance to go to any festival or outdoor event here I would highly recommend it. (Also there is a public bathroom with a changing table for diapers toward the front of the park with western and Japanese toilets - - just be sure as always to have soap or disinfectant on hand as the sinks don't have soap or hand dryers.)

Great place for family to hangout

Amazing place with shrines and beautiful Ambiente.

Cherry blossoms are blooming now!

Beautiful shrine, a "must see"!!

Beautiful place to do some sightseeing, You can enjoy the lake views, trees, flowers and have a picnic with friends here

My favorite place in all Omiya

(Translated by Google) It is connected to Omiya Hikawa Shrine and the inside of the park is full of ups and downs, and the cherry blossom season is very good. It used to be a villa area loved by literary writers. That's why the garden has a strong Japanese atmosphere. There is a large pond that changes color depending on the season. Trees of cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, and autumn leaves are reflected on the surface of the water, and the waterfowl shakes them beautifully. Not only Hikawa Shrine but also Gokoku Shrine on the north side, there are many calm places. With some exceptions like amusement parks and zoos. Although there is a distance, please come in from Hikawa Shrine Ichino Torii near Saitama Shintoshin Station in spring, drink tea while you visit Yururu Hikawa Shrine, and go through the park to see the cherry blossoms. (Original) 大宮氷川神社とつながり、起伏に富んだ園内は桜のシーズン?がとても良いところです。 昔は文豪も愛した別荘地だったとか。そのためか園内は和風に落ち着いた雰囲気が強いです。 大きな池があり、季節によって色を変えます。 水面に桜や新緑、紅葉の樹木が映り、それが水鳥に揺れて綺麗に揺れます。 氷川神社だけでなく、北側に向かうと護国神社もあり、落ち着いたところが多いです。 一部遊園地や動物園のような例外がありますが。 距離がありますが、春に是非さいたま新都心駅そばの氷川神社一ノ鳥居から入り、途中茶を飲みながらゆるゆる氷川神社のお参りを済ませて公園に抜けて桜を見てみて下さい。

(Translated by Google) A park behind the Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Shrine. A lot of big red pine grow up, and it is quite spectacular. Furthermore, there is a pond in the back, and in the back there are several Kusunoki trees of considerable thickness at the end that is dense with different vegetation. I felt the forest that grew up over many years from the big keyaki on the approach to Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Shrine, the forest that crosses the three torii gates and obstructs the main shrine, but this is the forest of Japan, the father of the park Dr. Shiroku Honda, who is called, seems to have been involved in the planning. The forest of Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Shrine felt like Meiji Jingu somehow, but since it is the same place of Musashi, I wonder if it was a reference. (Original) 武蔵一宮氷川神社の奥にある公園。大きなアカマツがたくさん育っており、なかなか壮観。さらに奥には池がありその奥はまた異なる樹相で鬱蒼とした先にかなりの太さの楠が何本かある。 武蔵一宮氷川神社の参道にある大きな欅、三の鳥居を越えて本殿を遮るような森、から長い年月で育った森を感じたが、、、ここはなんと日本の森林、公園の父とも呼ばれる本多静六博士も計画に携わった模様。 武蔵一宮氷川神社の森はなんとなく明治神宮を感じたが、同じ武蔵の地なので、参考にしたのかなあ、、、、と。

Beautiful park with lots of cherry blossoms and a large number of street food stalls compared to within Tokyo. Went 2weeks ago before peak season but can imagine being more atmospheric and busy during peak bloom. Had one of the best and largest portion of Kara-age there too!

Used to live near here for a few years. This is one of our favorite places to visit! During the new year time, there will be a special market here, too.

A really big park where you can enjoy nature!

Authentic, historical and peaceful place in Omiya. Worth to visit and have some rest there. Unique moment on sun rise for a running. Walking down or up the old avenue that lead to the square is unavoidable.
