The bus takes 45 minutes from the 10th bus terminal at the eastern exit of Chiba Station.
Walking in the park
Izumi Nature Park covers 43 hectares. It is a quiet place where you can walk and enjoy the beauty of nature.
The park is magnificent all year round, but it is especially beautiful in spring, when sakura blooms, and in autumn, when the leaves turn red, orange and gold.
Spring flowering

Izumi Bridge
There is a duck pond with carp in the center of the park. A 65-meter suspension bridge stretches high above it, offering stunning views.
Let's walk
There are many hiking trails in Izumi Nature Park. There are benches along them where you can sit and rest.

What a great nature reserve, 45mins drive from Central Tokyo - came on a Sunday at noon and it wasn't busy. It's more of a nature reserve vs park, come here to do mild hike (majority paved) and look at nature - they have a few areas were you could lay a sheet and have a picnic as well.
Parking is 400 yen for the day and gates close at 5pm.
Definitely worth it if you want to escape the concrete jungle.
