Really a great spot to walk around, especially in the winter, although the roads are quite narrow, and there is a lot more traffic than one might expect. The photo shown above was taken from a bus stop on the north side. There are stone monuments near the western shore of the pond, but no official K200 signpost as far as my photo records and memory serves.

Excellent hike; the K200 signpost shown above is in the temple Konzo-ji. We took a loop route, starting and ending at 大原野森林公園. Walking southeast along route 723, one eventually arrives at signage for the 東海自然歩道. The descent from that point to Konzo-ji was a bit dangerous (very steep edge, large drop, poor footing), especially with young kids, but we made it. After that the hike up was quite straightforward. The descent back to the park requires one to take a path to the left in front of the 淳和天皇陵.
