Takakatsu Manyo Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

A spacious town park in Zao Town, where a long slide built into the hillside is what children come for. Children never tire of the simple loop of climbing to the top of the hill and sliding back down. The lawn area is generously sized, so there is no trouble finding a spot to lay a picnic sheet and eat lunch. From the high ground you can look out at the Zao mountain range, so adults can rest while taking in the view. Setting a time limit so nobody overdoes it strikes the right balance before the afternoon water play.

Tips

The slide is hard on clothing, so long trousers or clothes you do not mind dirtying are recommended. Shade is limited, so lay your picnic sheet under a tree. Whether a kiosk is open varies by day, so bringing your own lunch and drinks is the safe choice. Checking where the toilets are when you arrive makes the rest of the visit easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 45 minutes. Late morning into midday, including lunch, is recommended.
