Shinko Sangyo Kirarahama Nature Observation Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

A prefectural nature observation park right beside Kirara Expo Memorial Park, making use of the marshland of reclaimed land. The observation hall is equipped with telescopes, letting you feel up close the waterbirds that arrive with each season and the insects and frogs living in the reed beds. The paths are well maintained and easy to walk, and simply peering into the water as you go brings children one discovery after another. Staff sometimes explain the creatures, giving kids the experience of connecting a name they saw in a picture book with the scene in front of them. Touching the quiet side of the waterfront before the afternoon water play adds depth to the day.

Tips

Check opening days and admission fees in the official information. Some paths have little shade, so a hat and drinks are essential. Insect repellent makes summer walks more comfortable. The observation hall is indoors, so switch to spending your time inside if the heat becomes hard to bear. Some sections can be covered with a stroller, but on gravel paths carrying a small child is easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Mornings, when the creatures are most active, suit observation best
