Reviews by situation
“Relaxing alone” Recommended: 3 /4 points
It’s very busy around June when the irises bloom, but is empty at other times.
“Having fun with the kids” Recommended: 1 /4 points
It’s a spot that children might not find fun.
“Getting into the mood on a date” Recommended: 1 /4 points
It’s a little plain for a date, and it’s far from the station, so it’s unlikely to be an option.
“Getting along with friends” Recommendation level: 2 /4 points
The age group is a little older, but during the iris season it’s crowded with friends.
