Kameyama Park, Kozan Park, Ichinosaka River Paths

In the northern part of Yamaguchi, it’s possible to put together a nice run combining two small, pleasant parks and paths along the Ichinosaka River.

Our route starts in the small, pretty Kameyama Park — location of Yamaguchi City Hall and an Art Museum. A loop around the park’s paths is ~1.2 km. Then head east on one of the roads at the eastern end of the park to the Ichinosaka River. There’s a small road along the west bank that is also a pedestrian path. It’s a narrow river and can be dry — so there aren’t really ‘water views’. Head north for 1 km to the 202 Road, LEFT for 0.2 km into Kozan Park (see route description there). Enjoy a ~1.5 km loop of the park’s paths, and then retrace your steps along the river. You can run south along the river from Kameyama Park for 1 km to West Gate Shopping Street (see route map).
