About this spot

A leisure facility on Hirugano Highland spread with flower fields and pasture. Flowers planted by season color the slopes, and the mountain ranges visible beyond them make a view that only the highlands can offer. There are also areas where you can meet cows, sheep, horses and other animals, and small children can happily spend a long time here alone. There are places to eat within the grounds, so take your time over lunch before the water play. The kids park with the splash pond is inside the same grounds, so once you have entered there is no need to worry about getting around. The air at 1,000 meters is refreshing even in midsummer, and eating outdoors feels wonderful.

Tips

Admission is charged. Check the price and opening hours on the official website in advance. The grounds are large and undulating, so wear shoes that are easy to walk in. Avoid water play right after eating; heading to the splash pond after resting about 30 minutes is safer. The sun is strong in the highlands, so do not forget sunscreen and a hat.
