Discover Kyogoku: Spring, Park Golf and Mt. Yotei

You can get to know Kyogoku through different highlights: the spring and trails at Fukidashi Park, park golf at Three You Park, and views of Mt. Yotei from the campground there. The local tradition of potato cultivation is also part of the town’s character. These themes give you specific points to consider when deciding which aspects of Kyogoku will shape your stay.

The Spring and Trails at Fukidashi Park

The spring and its distinctive water properties are the main attractions at Fukidashi Park. It produces about 80,000 tons of water per day; this figure is approximate. At the same time, the water temperature remains constant year-round. These are two distinct features: a remarkable daily volume of water and a temperature that does not change over the course of the year. The water at Fukidashi Park is also included among Japan’s “100 Famous Waters.”

Walking trails and an observation platform add to a visit to the park. The trails offer a way to explore the park on foot, while the platform provides a separate viewpoint. If you like to combine natural features with walking when planning a trip, the spring and trails can together be the focus of an outing. The water’s recognition adds another dimension to the site: the focus is not only on the spring itself, but also on its designation.

Park Golf and Mt. Yotei at Three You Park

You can play park golf in a natural setting at Three You Park. The campground within the park offers views of Mt. Yotei. Two different features are therefore found in the same park: a recreational activity and a mountain view specifically associated with the campground. When choosing what to do, you can decide whether park golf or the view of the mountain is the stronger draw.

Kyōgoku Onsen also offers views of Mt. Yotei from its open-air bath. This view of the mountain can be compared with the one from the campground: in both cases, a specific viewpoint is named, but each is associated with a different place. There is an important timing restriction for the open-air bath: it will be temporarily closed for renovations from September 1 until late November 2026. Take the closure into account when planning your dates and check the latest status before visiting.

Potatoes as Part of the Local Character

Kyogoku became known as a potato-growing area, particularly for Baron potatoes. This agricultural connection adds a different perspective on the town to its nature and recreational offerings. While the spring and park are specific attractions for an outing, its reputation as a potato-growing area points to a local tradition. If you also choose destinations based on their regional character, this subject offers a factual contrast to the impressions of water and scenery.

Together, the places and themes described here offer different starting points for your trip: Fukidashi Park is known for its spring, trails and views; Three You Park for park golf and the view from the campground; and Kyōgoku Onsen for another view of Mt. Yotei, subject to the renovation period. The potato-growing tradition adds Kyogoku’s agricultural history to this selection.
