Just 30 minutes from Osaka, and you can find a stream like this.

To All Media Representatives

Approximately 30 minutes from Osaka. There is a small stream where you can dip your feet in the cool water at Ikoma-yama, Kuragari Pass (Kuragari-toge), on the border with Nara Prefecture. This hidden summer gem is located within the nature experience facility "KURAGARI Village," where clean water from Mt. Ikoma flows gently alongside historic terraced rice fields.

"Kuragari Pass Stream," where fireflies dance upstream and freshwater crabs inhabit the waterside, is a small waterside area where children can crouch down to turn over stones, be surprised by the coldness of the water, and discover small creatures.

A Special Place: Kuragari Pass.

KURAGARI Village is located in the Kuragari Pass area of the Ikoma mountain range.

Although it is now a quiet mountain path, it was once an important route for people and goods to travel between Osaka and Nara. Looking at the stone pavement that still remains and the terraced rice fields spreading around the pass, it feels as though not only the scenery is beautiful, but also a trace of the time of those who walked this path remains.

Playing in the stream, gazing at the terraced fields, feeling the presence of the old mountain pass road. It's not just fun, but also a little quiet and a little serene. Children are engrossed in the water, while adults pause to take in the scenery. The charm of this place is that you can spend your time in such a way.

If you get hungry, head to egg cafe.

Omurice and tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg), made with plenty of freshly harvested eggs, are a feast in themselves after playing outside. Eating warm egg rice while the coolness of the water still lingers on your feet. You can also enjoy such moments.

In addition, KURAGARI Village offers other family-friendly attractions, including a campsite where you can enjoy the scenery of the terraced rice fields, an athletic course for children to move their bodies, and cute animals that will make you want to take photos.

Roi-kun and Oreo-chan

Rather than rushing through everything, take it little by little according to your mood that day.

Play by the water, eat a meal, meet the animals, rest in the shade, and then return to the stream.

A leisurely day like this suits KURAGARI Village.

"Kuragari Pass Stream" is a natural stream. Depending on the weather, rainfall, season, and water volume, the playable area and activities may change. When playing in the water, please ensure that a guardian accompanies children and does not take their eyes off them. Non-slip shoes, a change of clothes, a towel, a hat, and drinks are recommended for safety. There is also a foot-washing area, so please feel free to use it.

When I discovered this stream, I was happily surprised that such nature remained so close to the city. Water from Mt. Ikoma flows, passes by the terraced rice fields, and becomes a small waterside where fireflies and freshwater crabs live. It is not a famous tourist spot, but it is a small natural landscape that we want to cherish. We at KURAGARI Village will continue to nurture a place where parents and children can spend enjoyable time together, while cherishing the nature of Mt. Ikoma and Kuragari Pass, including "Kuragari Pass Stream."
