A Beloved Green Retreat for Every Season
Set along the clear waters of the Nagara River, Ogura Park is Mino’s easy-to-reach green escape—free to enter and perfect for a relaxing break in any season.
In spring, the park is famous for cherry blossoms, when locals and visitors picnic beneath the trees and stroll under canopies of pale pink.
On selected evenings, nighttime cherry-blossom illuminations give the blossoms a gentle, dreamlike glow.
Avenues of Somei Yoshino and other cherry varieties bathe the park in soft color; bring a picnic blanket and watch the scene deepen toward golden hour.
Beyond spring, the park rewards repeat visits year-round: fresh greens in summer, warm autumn foliage, and crisp, quiet winter walks.
Wide lawns welcome families to spread out, and playground areas make unhurried afternoons with children easy.
Riverside paths open up views along the water, popular with walkers and joggers who come for a daily reset.
Whether you’re pausing between sights or looking for a simple nature break, Ogura Park offers a quick way to slow down and reconnect with Mino’s landscape—magical in spring, and quietly restorative the rest of the year.
