Suigō Prefectural Natural Park

Suigō Prefectural Natural Park (水郷県立自然公園, Suigō kenritsu shizen kōen) is a Prefectural Natural Park in northeast Mie Prefecture, Japan.

Established in 1953, the park comprises one unified area that spans the borders of the municipalities of Kuwana and Kisosaki.

[5] The park consists of an Ordinary Zone to the East, in the Kiso-sansen alluvial delta, where the Ibi, Nagara, and Kiso Rivers flow down into Ise Bay, and a Special Zone (subdivided into Class 1, 2, and 3 Special Zones) to the northwest, around Mount Tado [ja] at the southern end of the Yōrō Mountains.

[2][3] To the northeast, the park adjoins Senbon-matsubara [ja] in Gifu Prefecture, a flood-control initiative following the 1754 Hōreki River incident, and now protected within Senbon Matsubara Prefectural Natural Park.

[2][3][6] Within the park, features of natural and cultural interest include Tado Taisha, the National Natural Monument Tado's Callery Pear Plant Communities,[7] Japanese chinquapins, Gifu butterflies, Uga Jinja (宇賀神社), Nagashima onsen [ja], and the remains of the landing of the Shichiri no watashi [ja] ferry crossing, between Kuwana-juku and Miya-juku, celebrated by Hiroshige in The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, and designated a Prefectural Historic Site.
