The rapidly cascading waterfalls known as the Go Ryu no Taki (The Five Dragon Falls), and the red sturdy suspension bridge over the wildly rushing river waters, fascinated me when I stepped into Chuo Koen, the Central Park in Susono City. Trees on elevated and uphill lands surround the place; and with the natural sounds of rustling leaves and the chirping of the birds, being there feels so relaxing and soothing. Without any idea how to get there, we decided to search for the place on foot and found ourselves enjoying a good 25-minute walk from Susono Station.
