Head to the Yurihonjo Sogo Gymnasium in front of the rest area in Ouchi. The large public gymnasium hosts sports tournaments, and you can use the weight room with treadmills for a few hundred yen if you wish, though most events are free to watch. It is a good place to stretch your legs and get a feel for the local sports culture.

Walk southeast from the gymnasium for about 34 minutes to reach Gohofuen. This garden offers a quiet space to sit and enjoy the afternoon light. It is a gentle stroll away from the gymnasium, making it a perfect second stop for a relaxed atmosphere.
