Yakuno Basalt Park

Japan, 629-1314 Kyoto Prefecture, Fukuchiyama City, Yakunocho, Ogura 98-1

You can see hexagonal columnar joints measuring 40 to 50 centimeters on each side, which were formed when lava flowed from the earth due to volcanic activity at Mount Takura (Mount Takara), Kyoto Prefecture's only volcano, cooled and solidified. Walking paths and gazebos have been built so that visitors can enjoy the beauty of this natural formation. The nighttime illumination (from dusk to 9 p.m.) is also fantastic. Around early April, the Somei-Yoshino cherry trees are in full bloom.
