A peaceful, maple-lined park in the historic Arima Onsen district, Zuihoji Park erupts with vibrant colors every fall.
MK Guide Recommends
Once the site of Zuihoji Temple, this modest park maintains a quiet, reflective atmosphere—its stone remnants and moss-covered paths whisper of a bygone era. Located in the Arima Onsen district, Zuihoji Park is especially cherished in autumn, when its hundreds of Japanese maple trees burst into vivid shades of crimson, gold, and fiery orange. The foliage surrounds peaceful walking trails, quiet benches, and a small teahouse that operates during peak season. Historically, the park is believed to have been a favorite spot of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who admired its seasonal beauty during his visits to the nearby hot springs. Though small in size, the park offers unhurried visitors a poetic calm that contrasts with the lively atmosphere of Arima.
