Ichinohe Hana no Oka Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a gently spreading lawn area inside the same Ichinohe Hana no Oka Park as the children's pond. True to the name, the flower-hill grounds continue on, and you can walk slowly while looking at the seasonal flowers. Because it is on high ground the view is excellent, and a packed lunch eaten on a spread-out picnic sheet becomes a feast in itself. For children at the age when they want to run around, dashing up the sloping lawn and rolling down it is the best play of all. It is right beside the children's pond, so you can rest well after eating and then move on to water play, which makes this course easy to put together.

Tips

There may not be dining facilities in the park, so preparing a packed lunch and drinks in advance and bringing them in is the sure approach. As a rule, take your rubbish home. Shade is limited, so a sunshade or pop-up tent adds comfort. Avoid entering the water right after eating; waiting about 30 minutes before heading to the children's pond is safer. The fountains run from 10:00 to 17:00, so keep an eye on the clock so the break does not run too long.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Breezes pass over the hilltop, so it stays relatively comfortable even at midday in high summer
