Guests can join the Ukai Town Farm Experience Program, hosted by the local agricultural cooperative, offering hands-on activities like rice planting, seasonal vegetable harvesting, and learning to use traditional farming tools. The organic farm is located just a 10-minute walk south of the park, near several recommended hotels. After working the land, visitors enjoy a farm-to-table meal featuring fresh ingredients—such as river fish sushi and mountain vegetable tempura—at the on-site dining hall. Some hotels offer agricultural experience packages including shuttle service and equipment rental, enabling seamless immersion in rural life and sustainable practices. This authentic connection to the land is a highlight of any stay near Seino River Park.
The prime viewing point is at Ginkgo Bridge, located at the end of the Seino River Illuminated Pathway. Low-luminosity lighting gently reflects off the water and tree shadows, creating a dreamlike ambiance. Benches and informational plaques along the bridge share stories of the river’s ecology and history. On weekends, the area hosts intimate outdoor concerts, where music drifts across the water under the night sky. For a more private experience, guests staying at Seino River Hidden Retreat can enjoy the rooftop terrace of their premium suite, offering panoramic views of the glowing river stretch—like stars fallen into the stream. A truly magical moment for twilight lovers.
