Q&A

How do I get to the rock seat of God?

You can reach it by following the walking trail in the Izenayama Forest Park. The path is a mountain trail rich in nature, so sneakers or other shoes that are easy to walk in are recommended.

Is it possible to take pictures?

Yes, you can take pictures. However, please note that the footing on the rocks may be unstable, so please be careful to shoot safely.

Can I visit with children?

Yes, you can visit with children, but because of the height near the rocks, they must be accompanied by an adult to ensure their safety.

Can I visit on a rainy day?

When it rains, the footing can be slippery and dangerous. It is best to visit on a sunny day.

Are there places to buy drinks and snacks nearby?

There are no restaurants or vending machines in the forest park, so it is a good idea to prepare drinks and other refreshments in advance.
