Kazahaya no Sato is located on the banks of Kazahaya Pond, which has a circumference of 3.8 km, and is located within the Ise Onsen Golf Club on a hilly area of approximately 78,000 square meters. Kazehaya Pond is one of the 800 irrigation ponds built across the country by Emperor Suinin in October of 35 AD. During the Sengoku period, the lord of the Tsushiro domain, TakatoraTodo, named the land where he irrigated it with the name ``Kazehaya,'' hence the name ``Kazehaya Pond,'' and it remains one of the prefecture's leading water sources for rice fields.

Since 2004, users and staff of the social welfare corporation Shojukai's facilities for people with disabilities have been working together to prune, fertilize, weed, improve soil, maintain, and manage the facilities for plums, wisteria, and hydrangeas. As the first flower garden in Japan to incorporate horticultural welfare, we are working to integrate the environment and welfare.

``Wisteria'' is ``White Ko Hitan Wisteria,'' ``Shika Hitan Wisteria,'' ``Red Wisteria,'' ``Lipstick Wisteria,'' ``Rokushaku Wisteria,'' ``Nine Shaku Wisteria,'' ``Nagasaki One-Year-Old Wisteria,'' ``Yaekuro Ryu Wisteria,'' ``Black Ryu Wisteria,'' and "Shiranoda Wisteria" blooms on 10 types of wisteria trellis covering 10,000 m2 and standing trees within the 58,000 m2 park.

Take a walk and relax in the footbath amidst the sounds of wild birds such as pheasants, warblers, and white-eyes.During the flower garden's opening period, there will be a ``Kazahaya Chaya'' and ``kitchen car'' stalls, and ``bring your own bento'' on the lawn and wisteria trellis. You can spread out a sheet and eat your meal. Enjoy a different world of ``healing flower scenery'' that you cannot see in everyday life as a family of three generations.

A fusion of welfare and the environment Garden KAZAHAYANOSATO
～Hometown of Kappa～

' Kazahaya no Sato -Kappa's home-' is located just 5 minutes from Hisai interchange of Ise highway and also 25 minutes on Chusei bypass from ' Senjuji 'which was designated as a national treasure in 2017.
Situated conveniently on the way to your sightseeing in Ise Shima is Kazahaya no Sato. It takes 5 minutes to reach us from the Hisai interchange and 70 minutes from The Ise Grand Shrine on Route 23.
Located also just 40 minutes from Otokido Pass, a starting point for hiking part of the World Heritage Site of Kumano Kodo, an ancient pilgrimage route from before the Edo period. It is also 75 minutes on route 23 to the Ise Shima summit Venue.

Kazahaya no Sato is the ideal spot to take a well-earned rest for lunch en-route to Ise Shima.

Kazahaya no Sato is a hilly area of about 70,000 square meters located within the Ise-Onsen Golf Club beside the Kazahaya Pond, which is 3.8 km in circumference. Kazahaya pond is just one of the 800 irrigation ponds that the Emperor Suinin had made for Japan in the Winter of 35 AD.
In the period of warring states the lord of Tsu castle, Lord Takatora Todo, named Kazehaya the land where irrigation work was to be completed. It has proudly been the water resource for our main rice fields in Mie prefecture ever since.

From 2004 the Social Welfare Corporation Sei jyu kai worked alongside residents and staff of care homes to help us prune, fertilize, weed, improve and remedy soil as well as maintain and operate the management of plums, wisteria and hydrangea. We are happily the first garden in Japan to incorporate gardening welfare and are continually working on blending the environment with the welfare of our close knit community.

We have 56 species of plants with 555 Plum trees including Kankoubai, Michisirube, Shi-rokaga, Kagoshimakoubai, Benichidori, Nikkobai, Benizuru, Bungoume, Minatokoubai, Koume, Nankoubai, and Omoinomama to name but a few.
There are 500 different species and 45 different types such as Rinshibai. These bloom within the 58,000 square meter lawn from early February to late March.


We have 10 types of Wisteria which are named Shirokapitan, Murasakikapitan, Benifuji, Kuchibenifuji, Rokusyakufuji, Kyusyakufuji, Nagasakissaifuji, Yaekokuryufuji, Ko-kuryufuji and Shironodafuji. These bloom on 10 different types of wisteria trees in an 10 thousand square meter area from the end of April to early May.

We have 35 kinds of Hydrangea such as Aotemari, Shirotemari, Pinktemari, Sumidanohanabi, Sky Blue, Marine Blue, Tsukasa Blue, Chaplit, San Gaia, Red Sensation, Koijigahama, Kas-urarin Pink, Uz, Benigaku, Aogaku, Shirogaku, Nanadanbana, Jogasaki, Jyunihitoe, Hime Ajisai and Annabel.
Please take time to appreciate the special Hydrangea called Selma, Sharona, Serena, Sandra, Sabrina and Soraya which are blooming only in Kazahayanosato from early June to early July.

Take an enjoyable stroll through the singing pheasants and Japanese warblers. Please enjoy the other-worldliness and "healing scenery" which cannot be noticed so often in our modern lives. We wish you to enjoy the gardens and atmosphere from a time some 3 generations past .☆ Amusement in Kazahaya no Sato
