4K Virtual Walk Minokamo Health Forest, in Minokamo, Gifu, Japan
Minokamo Health Forest is a nature-rich forest park located in the northern hills of Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture. Known for its seasonal flowers and wildlife, the park features over 6,000 hydrangeas—the city’s official flower—alongside a variety of plants and birds that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is a well-equipped recreational area where families and friends can spend an entire day enjoying outdoor activities such as barbecuing, playing mini-golf, and exploring various playgrounds like the “Donguri Park” for children.
One of the park’s most notable features is a long staircase of 777 steps that leads to the “Fort of Joy” observation tower. From the top, visitors are rewarded with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, including Mt. Ontake, Mt. Ibuki, and Mt. Ena on clear days. The park also offers light hiking trails along the ridgelines of Mt. Takagi and Mt. Yamanoue Fuji, making it ideal for both casual walkers and nature lovers.
Jointly developed by Gifu Prefecture and Minokamo City as part of a forest conservation project, Minokamo Kenko no Mori serves as a beloved retreat where people of all ages can connect with nature and refresh both body and mind.
