About this spot

Located in Kōryo Town (広陵町), known as the "Home of Princess Kaguya," this park features large composite play equipment inspired by the Tale of Princess Kaguya (竹取物語), beloved by children. The equipment includes slides, net play structures, and athletic elements perfect for active play. The park also offers seasonal charm with its pond and bamboo grove scenery. Conveniently close to Mami Kyūryō Park, it's easy to visit as your second stop in the morning. Working up a sweat before the pool makes the afternoon water play all the more refreshing.

Tips

The play equipment area has minimal shade, so bring a hat and don't forget water. Restrooms and vending machines are available in the park, making it a convenient rest stop before heading to the pool.
