Opened in 1894 (Meiji 27), this park has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots. It is also known as one of the Kanto region’s leading azalea destinations, with around 500 varieties of flowers, including plum blossoms, peonies, and wisteria, blooming throughout the seasons.
The park features Field Athletics, a campground, a barbecue area, a pony ranch, Aqua Venture, and Flower Fantasia, each of which charges a separate fee. Visitors of all ages can take part in a variety of activities throughout the year.
Field Athletics, in particular, is one of the largest facilities of its kind in Japan, with more than 100 obstacles. Every obstacle is handmade by the staff, with careful safety measures such as rounding off the corners of wooden structures to help prevent injuries. Popular challenges include Antlion Running, where participants circle a sloping log structure, Running on Water, which involves racing across rafts, and the Overwater Ropeway.
The barbecue area is an open space surrounded by trees, and visitors may bring their own chairs, tables, barbecue grills, and other equipment. Even on a day trip, it offers a taste of the camping experience.
