The vast park has a lush green pond where you can observe wild birds, a traffic plaza where you can enjoy learning about traffic rules, an amusement park, tennis courts, a baseball field, and a swimming pool in the summer. The park is free of charge and parking. Street performance shows and other seasonal events are held on weekends.

This time, we will introduce mainly the amusement park area and the traffic square that are popular with children!

From the amusement park area

In addition to the standard "Merry-go-round", "Ferris wheel", "Riscopter", and "Safari pets", rides that can be enjoyed by parents and children are reasonably priced at 60 to 100 yen per ride! What's more, even though it's an amusement park with a long history, everything from the rides to the restrooms is pristine!

At the information center, you can rent not only strollers and wheelchairs, but also outdoor play goods such as balls, badminton, and jump ropes, as well as leisure sheets and umbrellas for free. It is OK to return items borrowed at the amusement park at the transportation square.

Discount coupons (1 sheet/200 yen, 11 20 yen tickets) are sold only at information desks in amusement parks and traffic parks. Tickets can be used in common at the amusement park, traffic square, and public pool.

Tickets can be purchased at information desks and vending machines near each ride.
