Akagaeru Park, a four-minute walk away, is said to be named after the short story “Akagaeru (Red Frog)” by Kensaku Shimaki.

This small park by the Takishita Bridge on the western edge of Shuzenji Hot Spring Village is famous as a habitat for fireflies, and you can feel the comfort of the occasional breeze as you take a break on one of the benches.

Beyond that, in the bamboo grove path, there is a promenade that connects Kaede-dori, which runs along the side of the Katsuragawa River that flows through the center of the hot spring resort, to the Takishita Bridge upstream, where you will find a variety of nice stores, from general stores to restaurants and sweet shops. A stroll during lunch is also recommended.

The autumn leaves and bamboo grove are wonderful during the day, and the illuminated bamboo grove at night makes for a wonderful time.
