About this spot

On the same grounds as the Water Play Plaza, this is a community station run by an agricultural production corporation. There is a restaurant and a pastry shop on site, so you can enjoy meals and snacks made with locally grown produce right there. At the animal corner you can meet goats, rabbits and more, keeping children entertained before and after the meal. There is also a vineyard, where depending on the season you can watch the fruit growing, a charm unique to a farm-run operation. Since the base for your water play is itself a place to eat and shop, you can leave your bags and spend the day unencumbered.

Tips

Check the restaurant's opening hours and closed days in advance. It gets crowded from noon on weekends and holidays, so eating in the 11 o'clock hour is another effective plan. Eating too much before water play makes it hard to move, so keep portions light and save the pastry shop treats for the afternoon. There is a footbath on site, so bringing one extra towel is handy.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. To avoid the crowds, arriving before noon is smoothest
