As early as 5 o'clock in the morning, you will already see joggers and hikers of various ages enjoying a good exercise in Yahatayama Park. The mountain park projects a unique beauty with every change of the season. In spring time, the place turns pinkish-white with so many cherry-blossom trees around, creating a mesmerizing view. In autumn, the vivid contrast of the leaves and tree bark creates a magnificent combination. Green trees cover the place in summer. From the top of the park, you can look out over part of Suruga Ward in the southern part of Shizuoka City.

The long stairs going to the mountain park sure make a good warm-up for hikers and joggers

You won't really mind the long walks because the views around you are relaxing and breathtaking

There are several benches everywhere, good spots to sit and and relax, and breathe in the fresh air

Hikers would surely enjoy the long flights of stairs

From the top, you can see a portion of the city with so many buildings

There are several tables with benches if you want to bring your pack lunches

The place looks uniquely beautiful in different seasons

When you get tired from your ascent, you may sit on the benches by the bushes and trees beside the concrete stairs

Looks like a good place for a Sunday walk - will take a Sunday drive there and try it sometime.
