About this spot

This is a garden area inside Shimizu Park where you can enjoy seasonal flowers and greenery. Flower beds, lawns and shaded benches are laid out, making it just the right place for a calm meal and rest before the water play. The best time for flowers changes with the season, but in summer the greenery is deep and the breeze in the shade feels pleasant. Simply walking around looking for the names of flowers is discovery enough for a child. It is inside the same Shimizu Park, so you can walk to Aqua Venture in the afternoon.

Tips

Admission here is charged separately from Aqua Venture. For lunch you can use the shop inside the grounds, or bring a packed lunch and spread it out on a shaded bench to keep things light. Top up your drinks here in preparation for Aqua Venture in the afternoon. During the strongest sunlight, choosing shaded areas as you walk keeps everyone from tiring.
