Positives:

  • Multiple play zones: Different play areas keep children aged 3–12 engaged throughout the visit.
  • Free entry for kids: Children under 15 enter free, so families pay only adult fees.

Challenges:

  • Uneven paths: Gravel trails in forest zones can be steep; strollers may struggle.
  • Weather-dependent play: Indoor play dome has limited capacity; bring rain gear for sudden showers.

Came on July 28 2025. Attended the Segway tour which consists of 45 minutes of training and a 1-2 hour tour across the park on the segway(highly recommended.). Good scenery and there is an area for children to have fun with water parks, slides, inflatable castles and even a hill where they can play Sisyphus with a large red ball. Good for family trips.

Beautiful flower garden! Went during the summer. You can spend about 1.5 hours here. Would combine with the waterfall and the cemetery or the Makomanai art museum.

Such a beautiful place to spend the day! Tulips were in full bloom when we visited and they were spectacular! The waterfalls and cherry blossoms were also a highlight! The sound of local birds singing as you walk through the forests is so calming. And if you have kids, the children’s play areas look like so much fun!

There is a parking fee and entrance fee (per perso...
