Kyotsubogawa Riverside Park (京坪川河川公園) / Orange Park Funahashi

Flow of the course

About this spot

Orange Park Funahashi is a long, narrow riverside park that follows the Kyotsubo River (京坪川), and the lawn area is the most relaxing rest spot within it. So that you do not have to wander around looking for a kiosk, this course suggests bringing your own bento and spreading a sheet in the shade of the trees. You can eat while watching the children run off to the play equipment right in front of you, so the adults get a calm meal too. It is also right beside the water play area, which makes it easy to rest a little after eating and then move straight on. The shade shifts as the hours pass, so choose a spot where the shadow of the trees is deep.

Tips

It is safest to prepare your bento and drinks beforehand and bring them with you. Rubbish is taken home as a rule, so bring plenty of bags. Resting for about 30 minutes after eating before moving on to water play helps prevent anyone feeling unwell. Insect repellent makes the riverside more comfortable too.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Spending the strong midday sun in the shade of the trees is exactly the right call.
