[2025 Kakogawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Hiokayama Park (Updated Aug)

I originally went for the fig tart that looks like a jewelry box, but the staff recommended the seasonal parfait with figs, so I ordered that as well. The tart and the not-too-sweet parfait made with seasonal ripe figs made for an elegant tea time. This is a recommended cafe in Kakogawa with a sense of openness. ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Name】Bakery Cafe & Restaurant ON THE HILL 【Location】1754-2 Ono, Kakogawa-cho, Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, inside Hiokayama Park 【Business Hours】Weekdays 11:00-18:00 (Lunch Lo. 14:00, Cafe Lo. 17:00), Weekends and Holidays 8:00-18:00 (Lo. 17:00) 【Closed】Tuesdays ※Closed from 10/1 to 10/7 in 2024 【Prices】 Seasonal Parfait 1,200 yen Fig Tart 600 yen Iced Coffee 480 yen Date of Visit: September 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱

This is a market called the Open Department Store Morning Market. There are morning markets and evening morning markets (night markets). Looking at the schedule, it was a morning market held somewhere on weekends, such as Kakogawa and Kobe Motomachi. There were many people with dogs, and many people enjoyed eating. I recommend eating at a night market once in a while. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] Musashi Open Department Store Morning Market / Night Market / SAVE KAKOGAWA FES [Date] Saturday, September 14, 2024, 16:00-21:00 [Venue] ON THE HILL [Location] 1754-2 Ono, Kakogawa-cho, Kakogawa-shi, Hyogo Prefecture, Hiokayama Park Visited: September 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #NightMarket2024 #100TravelStyle #DomesticTravel #Tourism #HyogoTourism #MorningMarket #NightMarket #Kakogawa

#cherryblossom2024 The best sakura in Hyogo Hiokayama is a huge park in Kakogawa City near Himeji Castle. The Japanese like to have picnics here during the hanami cherry blossom festival. There are several unusual graves in the park, one of which is protected by an imperial decree. How to get there Hiokayama Park is about a five—minute walk from JR Kakogawa Hioka Station. The time of the rose gardens Hiokayama is a large municipal park. It has various sports facilities, including a basketball court and a football field. However, most of all, the park is known as one of the best places to admire sakura. Every spring in early April, cherry trees bloom here and the park is filled with people. Locals like to have picnics under the fragrant pink shade. Venerable temple and ancient graves Next to the park you will see a large Hioka-jinja temple.
