Kodomo no Mori (こどもの森)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A zone particularly popular with children within Showa Kinen National Government Park, featuring large wooden athletic equipment, playgrounds, a bouncy dome, and other facilities for active play. Once you enter the park, there are no additional fees to use these facilities, which is wonderful for families with children. The area also has plenty of tree shade, allowing for relatively cool enjoyment even in summer. Before the fireworks show, move around vigorously, then settle down in the evening for securing your viewing spot. From the athletic equipment, moving to Minna no Harappa (みんなの原っぱ) in the park's central area is within walking distance.

Tips

Approximately 15 minutes on foot from the Tachikawa entrance through the park. Free to use with park admission included. During busy times, there may be lines for popular play equipment, so allow plenty of time to enjoy. There is a restroom and water fountain nearby, so take advantage during breaks in play.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. With plenty of tree shade, you can play relatively comfortably even in the afternoon
