Tatsuta Park is an urban park located in a 14-hectare riverside green area stretching approximately 2 km along the Tatsuta River.
The poem “Chihayaburu Jindai-mo” was written by the Heian-period poet, Urahara no Narihira.
The Tatsuta River is a famous riverbed green along the Tatsuta River.
The poem is also included in the Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems) by Noin Hokushi, who wrote, “The maple leaves on Mount Mimuro are brocade from the Tatsuta River.
The park is also famous for its autumn foliage, which has been loved by many poets since ancient times.
Within the park is Mt. Mimuro, which rises 82 meters above sea level, and there is a well-maintained walking trail that leads to the top of the mountain.
During the fall foliage season, visitors can enjoy strolling along the trail while viewing the autumn colors of Japanese maples, mountain maples, and maple trees.
In spring, visitors can enjoy the hundreds of cherry trees on Mt. Mimuro, and in early summer, they can enjoy the fresh greenery and beautiful scenery that changes with the seasons.
