Settsukyo Park

Great easy hike, has 4 courses to choose from, shortest one (the river side) can take less than 30 mins if continuous walking

Beautiful park, and beautiful view. Playground is awesome for kids. The cherry blossom viewing was amazing here.

You can access here by car or bus from Takatsuki station. Walking along the river and through forests was so much fun and I felt relaxed off city life.

Very nice place to have a day near a river. It was calm relaxing day

Beautiful park with trails of varying difficulty and length. Great place to be able to get in the river to swim. Lots of swimming "holes" if you stay on the orange path. The waterfall is small, but easily accessible from the orange path. The blue/green path has extremely steep steps that seem to go on forever and there are places on that path that you could easily go sliding down the mountain side if you're not careful. The maroon/brown path is a nice trek through the small town and rice fields, although there's no shade and currently no businesses open to take a break from the heat. I'd recommend saving that trail for the fall. Overall, it's a nice park to visit that's easy to get to by car or train/bus (with a little walking).
