Let's run through the wind! "Foot-operated go-kart" [paid]

A self-propelled go-kart runs on a course of about 90m. The price is very reasonable at 50 yen per person for 10 minutes!

Infants and elementary school students with a height of 100 cm or taller can use it. Purchase a ticket at the ticket vending machine and choose your favorite go-kart!

The first one he chose was with a yellow handle! Until he got used to it, he sometimes turned the steering wheel in an unexpected direction or backed up.

By the time he went around, he could drive smoothly, and it seems that it has become fun.

Ten minutes at a time was not enough and he immediately wanted to do another one! Here is what I rented the second time.

It seemed difficult to use hi hands and feet at the same time, but he managed to do his best. Challenge difficult things! I think it was a great experience.

"Cycle monorail" where you can enjoy the scenery [charged]

A self-propelled monorail with a circumference of about 230 meters. The height is about 10 meters. 100 yen per person per lap is also reasonable!

It can be used from 3 years old, but those under 130 cm must ride with a guardian. Capacity is 2 people.

Even if you are traveling with two people, you need a ticket for each person.

Look at this smile! It has a great view and a nice breeze.

It feels surprisingly taller than it looks from below. I felt great!

The view of the river is also nice! Cherry trees can be seen under the rail. It is said that it is a superb view when it is in full bloom.

You can look out over the park, so it's a good idea to look for your next destination.

Everyone's favorite "roller slide"

From the second floor of the playhouse, you can slide on the roller slide on the opposite side of the observation tower. The total length is about 28m!

He climbed the stairs of the playhouse and slid many times. It's good exercise.

Get in touch with the water! "Jabu Jabu Pond"

Kirifukiyama was able to play as a slide with the water removed at the time of shooting. When the area is filled with water, it is connected to an artificial stream from the inside of the large wooden playground equipment, making it a very popular area for playing in the water in the summer.

Have a variety of experiences and develop your imagination!

In the main building, craft events are held every day that can be participated in by age group. The good news is that most of them are free! Even if it is a paid one, it is very reasonable at 50 yen to 100 yen, which is equivalent to the actual cost.

In addition, there are events such as "play", "concert", "cooking" that parents and children can participate in, and "open chatting space" for parents, so not only children but also adults can spend a fulfilling time. We will introduce how to enjoy each room.

Enjoy crafting in the "Creativity Room"!

First, gather information at the entrance and get a numbered ticket! It's on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may be lines for popular items.

This is the "children's corner". Ages 3 and up can participate on weekdays, and ages 4 through 2nd grade can participate on weekends and holidays.

The day of the interview was "Let's Make shaved ice," in which each child receives materials one at a time and works according to the instructions on the white board. Parents should warmly watch over the children.

A very cute and original work has been completed.

Next is the "children's corner". Elementary school students and above can participate on weekdays, and elementary and junior high school students can participate on weekends and holidays.

The interview day was "Let's make a marble maze". Listen to your teacher and move on. She worked hard on the details.

I am very happy that I can make such a work for free.

The "hall" is a spacious place that can accommodate about 300 people.

Puppet shows, concerts, sports and game competitions that parents and children can enjoy are held here. At the time of the interview, there were no events and it was open to the public. You can run around as much as you want even on rainy days.

Spend your own reading time at the "Children's Library"

There are about 3,500 books for children and mothers.

There is an "infant room", so it is safe to bring babies

Spacious tatami space and nursing corner. There is a baby bed in the children's restroom, and you can change diapers.

In addition, in the "Cooking Room", events such as parent-child cooking, baby food making, children's cooking, harvest cooking, etc. are held to enrich the family's eating habits.

In the "multi-purpose room", there are "Piano and A-So-Bo" for infants, magic shows, child-rearing support classes, "Do-Re-Mi Club" for children with disabilities, etc. are held.

In the "meeting room", clinical psychologists offer individual consultations about children.

Lockers are very useful for families with small children who have a lot of luggage.

In collaboration with local residents and volunteers, large-scale events such as joint projects with Todagawa Ryokuchi are also held. Seasonal events such as the Spring Children's Festival, Summer Festival, Autumn Festival, and New Year's Festival are also very popular!

You will find a lot of exciting information at the entrance. The staff was also kind enough to talk to you, and you can ask them anything you don't understand.

Club activities include "English Play Club," "Unicycle Club," "Dance Club," "Parent-Child Gymnastics Class," "Karate Class," and "TODAGAWA Soccer Club. It is nice to have more friends outside of kindergarten and school, and it fosters children's cooperative and social skills.

This is the information on Tokora at the time of the interview. Please check the latest issue.

"Play Park" as an adventure playground, "Kappi Town" as a children's town project, and Ibasho Club for junior high and high school students, providing a place where children can learn by themselves through play. As a parent raising children, I am very grateful for the support that allows children to become the main players.

The nature experience in the West Forest, including nature exploration, nature games, making snacks such as baked potatoes and baumkuchen, and harvesting shiitake mushrooms, co-hosted with a volunteer group working in Todagawa Ryokuchi and the Nishinomori, will also be great fun.

There are also events such as the "Parenting Salon" in collaboration with local communities, schools, and volunteers, the "Interaction Program for High School Students and Infants," the "Haunted House," and the "Christmas Party," all of which I would like to participate in.

How was it? There are a variety of playground equipment that children will be fascinated by in Todagawa Children's Land, and I am sure you will find your favorite. There are also plenty of indoor play and craft activities, so even on rainy days, there is plenty of fun to be had. There is also a grassy area and shady trees, so on a sunny day, you can spread out a rug and pack a lunch and spend the whole day relaxing.

Please visit Todagawa Children's Land to fulfill your child's desire to try something new.
