Koyaike Park in Itami is a unique urban oasis, renowned as a prime bird-watching spot in the Kansai region. Originally a reservoir constructed in 731 AD, it now features a large pond with islands shaped like the Japanese archipelago (best viewed from above, particularly from Itami Airport departures). The park is a haven for migratory birds, especially ducks, from autumn to winter. Visitors can enjoy walking trails, a wheelchair-accessible environment, and the Itami City Insect Museum. With free admission and convenient access by bus from Hankyu Itami or JR Itami stations, it's an ideal destination for nature lovers and families seeking a relaxing day outdoors. Parking is available.
