Forest Learning Center

Flow of the course

About this spot

The playground area of Sakana Park has a long slide and a ropeway-style structure, letting children move about in a pleasant setting surrounded by trees. Plenty of shade means play stays relatively cool even at the height of summer, which is a hallmark of this park. At the park's Forest Learning Center, exhibits teach about the nature at the foot of Mount Fuji and the water cycle, revealing where the spring water you saw at Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) in the morning comes from. Benches are scattered around, so resting after lunch is easy. Moving about here before the water play makes the cold spring water feel just right.

Tips

Use is free. The park grounds are open 9:30-17:00. Insects appear among the trees, so repellent makes things more comfortable. For lunch, either eat at a restaurant near Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) or bring a packed lunch and eat on a bench in the park - both keep the day flowing.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. With plenty of shade, it is an easy place to be even at midday.
