Warm up at the observation deck and grassy plaza before swimming

About this spot

A comprehensive park spread over rolling hills about 10 minutes by car from Hikari City center, featuring an observation deck modeled after a castle keep, grassy plaza, and play area with equipment. The park has plenty of greenery, making it easy to take a breather in the shade even on hot summer mornings. From the observation deck, you can see the Hikari cityscape and the Seto Inland Sea, building anticipation for Niji Hama Beach ahead. The grassy plaza is spacious enough to run around safely, perfect for stretching before swimming.
