Mifuneyama Rakuen 御船山楽園

Mifuneyama Rakuen is a flower-laden site spread out over 500,000 square meters at the base of Mt. Mifune in Takeo City . It was constructed at the bequest of a former feudal lord. Visit the park's teahouse to complete a quintessential Japanese experience, and see statues depicting the 500 disciples of Buddha.

From Takeo-Onsen Station, it's only a short five-minute cab ride or a 25-minute walk to Mifuneyama Rakuen.

During spring, the park is filled with visitors there to view thousands of cherry blossoms, azaleas, and plum trees. Lanterns hung in summer, meanwhile, transform the park's natural color palette into an otherworldly landscape.
