Miyama Park (深山公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A prefectural urban park spreading near the centre of Tamano City (玉野市), popular with families for the lawns, playground equipment and boat landing arranged around a large pond. The lakeside path makes for an unhurried stroll, and the broad lawns give children room to move about freely. Ringed by trees, the grounds stay relatively comfortable even in summer, making this just the place for a play and a stretch before the beach. There are plenty of benches and rest areas too, so it also suits a family breather.

Tips

The car park is large, which makes it convenient to stop by. The boats on the pond can be hired for a fee and are popular with children if you have time. If you are calling in before the beach, keeping it to about an hour leaves plenty of room in the afternoon schedule.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Mornings are relatively quiet and the playground is easier to use
