In the northern part of Wakayama Prefecture, a little further from the mouth of the Arida River, there is Washigamine at an altitude of 586 meters. There is a cosmos garden at the top called “Cosmos Park”. With cosmos blooming all over and a pleasant breeze blowing through, you can see as far as Awaji Island and Shikoku on a clear day, and the Arita River winds down below. At dusk, the setting sun bounces off the surface of the sea in the distance, illuminating the cosmos flowers and swaying in the wind, as if they were dancing.
和歌山県の北部、有田川の河口から少し奥に入った所に、標高586メートルの鷲ヶ峰があります。その頂上には『コスモスパーク』と名の付いたコスモス園があります。一面にコスモスが咲き、心地良い風が吹き抜ける中、天気のいい日には遠く淡路島や四国まで見渡せ、眼下には有田川がくねる、まるで天空の花畑にいるかのようなコスモス園です。夕暮れ時、遥か向こうの海面から跳ね返された夕日が、コスモスの花々を照らし出し、風に揺れて、まるで踊っているかの様です。
