Destination: Obaracho, Toyota, Aichi Prefecture 470-0531, Japan
Travel Date: November 16, 2015
Thanks to roparat for the full details on how to get to Obara/Kamnigi Stop.
My course was:
- Drop-off at Obaraokusa Stop -to visit Obara Fureai Koen
- Walked 4km (roughly 100 minutes)
- Visited Semmi Shikizakua no Sato (jumped in at Kaminigi Stop, headed to Toyota station)
For my personal take, Obara Fureai Koen has maple, sakura and more ginkgo in place. The market is livelier in the afternoon. An off decision when you choose this as your departure point heading back to Toyota, is you need to have the strength to stand for the next hour, since the bus is already full when it departed at Kaminigi.
Jugatsuzakura (Autumn Cherry)
The Jugatsuzakura (literally "October Cherry") is one of the varieties that bloom in the autumn and winter. The flowers are small and sparse, but provide a surprising sight in combination with fall colors or snow. [Reference]
Started walking with this view to reach Semmi Shikizakua no Sato.
In Senmi Shikizakua no Sato, it has larger area of maple and sakura since you have to climb up and down the hill. But noticed that it has less ginkgo trees.

| Arigatou o'nii-san for a short but memorable tri-lingual discussion we had that day. Thanks for the good gesture and treat. |
This place has good backdrop of the stream with combination of sakura, maple and madarin trees (while heading to the parking lot and Kaminigi Stop).
