Suigō Prefectural Natural Park 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. In Heisei 16 (2004), nearly six-and-a-half million visitors entered the park, making it second in the prefecture, amongst its Natural Parks, to Ise-Shima National Park, and exceeding the number of visitors to Yoshino-Kumano National Park, Suzuka Quasi-National Park, and Murō-Akame-Aoyama Quasi-National Park. As of 31 March 2020, of its total designated area of 6,842 hectares, state land totalled 2,362 hectares, other public land 114 hectares, and private land 4,366 hectares.

Insider tip — Tado Onsen emerges on the Nobi Plain near the Tado Taisha Grand Shrine in Mie, tapping lightly mineralised thermal groundwater from alluvial sediments at the foot of the Suzuka mountains. The shrine is renowned for its Ageuma festival, in which mounted samurai charge up a steep embankment before a crowd of thousands. Bathing in warm thermal water after a visit to the sacred precincts is a tradition observed by local pilgrims for generations. The plains setting offers no mountain drama but compensates with an unhurried, deeply local atmosphere.
