Discover the Wonders of Ikeda City's Satsukiyama Park & Zoo
Located at the foot and halfway up the slope of Satsukiyama (elevation 315.3m), the symbol of Ikeda City, is Satsukiyama Park and Satsukiyama Zoo. Satsukiyama is one of the most famous cherry blossom spots in northern Osaka. With five hiking trails and an observatory, it offers a perfect view of the Osaka Plain and has been selected as one of the "100 Best Green Spaces in Osaka". From Satsukiyama, you can also reach the direction of Mino City Toshitomo (National Route 423) and Mino Dam.
The park is equipped with a zoo, urban greening botanical garden, golf course, green center, and many other facilities for leisure. Particularly popular is the Satsukiyama Zoo, where you can see rare Australian animals such as wombats and wallabies for free. Every year in early April, the "Sakura Festival" is held mainly in the park square and zoo. In summer, it also serves as one of the stages for the "Gangara Fire Festival", which has continued since the Edo period.
