3 Shirataki Park / Sakura River
白滝公園／桜川

Stroll along a little streams
where you can sense
the beauty of running water

7-minute walk from JR Mishima Station South

Tall trees like Zelkova growing in the park create
shade, and the abundant melt water of Mt. Fuji
wells up here and there from lava that is exposedat your feet. You can feel cool once you step into
the park, undoubtedly a symbol of the “Ctiy of
Water”, Mishima. There are benches along the
Sakura River where you can take a break.

We propose how you can enjoy riverbanks in the Mishima area, such as a stroll alongside a riverwith a comfortable breeze blowing across the river.
You can enjoy strolls throughout the seasons in Mishima with its mild climate even in winter.

An irrigation canal about 1.5 km long that runs from Kohamaike Pond
as its source to Nakazato-Onsuichi（Water Heating Reservoir）, a pond
built to warm water for rice growing. The trail is also developed as a partof the Seseragi route (a little stream) , and there is a promenade withsteppingstones in the river. During the summer time, you can see
spring water gushing out here and there, which makes you feel cooler.
This river is registered as a World Irrigation Facilities Heritage.

Prefecture with Mt. Fuji close by, has been known as the“City of Water” in recent years. This is because of anumber of clear streams running throughout the city. The
melt water from Mt. Fuji is welling up in the city running
through the layers that flowed out from the eruption of
Mt. Fuji.

As its source is Kohamaike Pond in
Rakujuen Park, where an imperial villa ofKomatsunomiya (a court noble) is located,local people call it Miyasan-no-kawariverwith affection.

The “Mishima stream of lava” is the layers made of hardened lava that flowed from the eruption of Mt.
Fuji approximately 10,000 years ago. It is said to be 2 km wide and 100 m thick, extending 30 km from
Mt. Fuji to the Mishima Station. The stream of lava is made of basalt within which water easily flows andkeeps a large amount of underground water that comes from the melt water of Mt. Fuji and rain at thefoot of the mountain. Some say the amount of underground water is equivalent to that of Lake Biwa.
This underground water flows to the lower stream over 26–28 years and gushes out as spring wateraround Mishima Station and the Kakitagawa in the lower stream.

Mishima is blessed with rich spring water and soil
and a reservoir of delicious ingredients as well.
Mishima eels are exposed to high quality
water, and Mishima croquettes using
Mishima potatoes are particularly
popular.

V eg eta b l es o f w ester n H a k o ne
箱根西麗 三島野菜

This Hakone Seiroku (western Hakone) has an ideal environment
for vegetables. As the land is sloped, it has good drainage andsunshine. It also has the adequate ability to retain nutrients andwater.

Mishima City is the capital of spring water from Mt.
Fuji. The molecules are small, and the water isactive as it contains a lot of oxygen. From old times,
it has been of such high quality that it is called“lotion.”Mishima eels, one of our specialties, get their muddy
smell and extra fat to be eliminated effectively by
being exposed for four days to the clear water inishima hat’ s hy ishima eels are tasty

W a ter G o d s a nd Eel s
From ancient times, we have considered the river andits source as the place where the gods live, and wehave handed down faith in the Water Gods to express
our appreciation and awe. Even now, eight places
enshrine the Water Gods in Mishima.
Water Gods are often enshrined in the shape of fish
like a dragon, big snake, or eel and in Mishima, it was
believed that you would suffer water trouble if youcaught and ate an eel.

M i sh i m a C r o q u ettes
みしまコロッケMishima croquettes use valuable Mishimapotatoes (May Queen) which are shipped only
for one month. Crispy outside and creamy
inside, the good sweetness is distinct. Each
restaurant produces their original taste, so you
can enjoy croquettes with the originality andingenuity of each maker.

T h e M ei j i R esto r a ti o n a nd Eel s

9Mishima people did not eat eels until theend of the Edo period because they had
been considered a messenger of the Water
Gods. However, they knew at the time of
the Meiji Restoration that a soldier from
Satsuma was not punished by heaven evenwhen he caught an eel inthe river in Mishima andate it. An anecdote says
this episode caused thepeople in Mishima to starteating eels.
