An open waterside park spreading along the Hyakken River flowing through Okayama City. It has a history as a large-scale flood control facility built by the famous strategist Tsuda Nagatada of the Okayama Clan during the Edo period, and is currently cherished as a strolling path and plaza where people can interact with rich nature. Ideal for walking, jogging, and picnicking while listening to the sound of the clear river, it allows you to feel the peaceful daily life of Okayama. Flowers bloom in full bloom along the banks in spring, a healing spot where you can simultaneously experience a beautiful waterside environment coexisting with a Japanese city and the wisdom of historical flood control technology.
