Horiuchi Park is a green and spacious park in Anjo City. Admission is free, and the fee-based playground equipment such as the Ferris wheel is reasonably priced at 50-100 yen! The park is crowded with families on weekends and holidays, and is a popular spot that is visited not only by the locals, but also by people from inside and outside the prefecture.

This time, I took a leisurely walk around Horiuchi Park and experienced it! I will introduce a course where you can take a leisurely stroll, a large lawn area, a Ferris wheel where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Anjo City, and a large trampoline.

What is Horiuchi Park?

Horiuchi Park is based on the concept of "a village of flowers, greenery, and fairy tales." Admission to the spacious garden is free! The park is also dotted with free spots, such as the popular grass slide, children's circuit, and places where small children can play. Paid playground equipment is also quite cheap, so you can spend a fulfilling day!

With the theme of "rich nature for everyone to enjoy," everyone from small children to the elderly can have fun.

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and many carp streamers were swaying in the wind when we visited in May!

Introducing spots where you can have plenty of fun even for free!

There are many spots in the park where you can play for free. Let's start with the popular "Fluffy Dome". A trampoline in the shape of a white mountain that makes you feel like you're walking on clouds.

"Ferris wheel" where you can see the whole city of Anjo!

Boasting a height of 35m, the "Ferris wheel" is the most popular paid playground equipment in Horiuchi Park. From the top, you can see the scenery of Anjo city. I actually got on the Ferris wheel! (For the first time in decades...!)

Buy a ticket first. Ferris wheel is 100 yen per person. The retro vending machine is so cute that you just want to take a picture.

Let's go to the Ferris wheel. I have loved Ferris wheels since I was a child, but I haven't had many opportunities to ride one since I became an adult, so this is the first time I've been on one in a long time. While throbbing, I climb the stairs.

As you go up the stairs, there are mysterious characters on the railing. There were characters in red and green.

This is where we boarded the Ferris wheel. The view of Anjo city and the feeling of a Ferris wheel after a long time made my heart skip a beat.

I asked the staff which direction the city of Anjo could be seen from, and they told me that the city of Anjo was spread out in the back of the photo. The staff told me that the Shinkansen bullet train could also be seen, which made me even more excited!

start! !

The Ferris wheel gradually goes up.

Arrived at the top! The Shinkansen had just stopped.

This is Anjo city that you can see from the top of the Ferris wheel. A lot of buildings! ! ! I'm so excited.

You can also experience the scenery like this. Horiuchi Park's Ferris wheel, 100 yen and you can enjoy such a wonderful view is the best! !
