Teganuma Park (手賀沼公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the waterside park that represents Abiko City, spreading across the western end of Lake Tega (手賀沼). The lawn is wide and shade is scattered here and there, making it just the right place to spread a picnic sheet and eat your lunch. A breeze comes across the lake, so even at the height of summer the shade is pleasant to sit in. There are play equipment and a boat landing, so you can move about a little after eating before heading into the afternoon. Kita-Kashiwa Furusato Park is close along the lakeshore, and the short journey is a help for families.

Tips

Shady spots fill up before noon, so arrive early and secure a place under a tree. Whether the shop is open varies from day to day, so preparing drinks and lunch in advance is the sure approach. There are toilets inside the park. Rather than going straight into the water after eating, resting a little before moving on is easier on the body.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. Arriving in the 11 o'clock hour, when you can still claim shade, is recommended.
