‘ 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 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 45 species of plants with 500 Plum trees including Kankoubai, Michisirube, Shirokaga, 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 10,000 square meter lawn from early February to late March.


We have 10 types of Wisteria which are named Shirokapitan, Murasakikapitan, Benifuji, Kuchibenifuji, Rokusyakufuji, Kyusyakufuji, Nagasakiissaifuji, Yaekokuryufuji, Kokuryufuji and Shironodafuji. These bloom on 8 different types of wisteria trees in an 8 thousand square meter area from the end of April to early May.

We have 39 kinds of Hydrangea such as Aotemari, Shirotemari, Pinktemari, Sumidanohanabi, Sky Blue, Marine Blue, Tsukasa Blue, Chaplit, San Gaia, Red Sensation, Koijigahama, Kasurarin 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.
