Takizawa Sogo Park Fureai no Mori

Flow of the course

About this spot

This area within the same Takizawa Sogo Park as the Water Curtain brings together large adventure structures, combination play equipment, and climbing frames. The recommended flow is to spread a picnic sheet on the lawn plaza for lunch first, then work it off on the play equipment. A quiet Japanese garden nearby makes a fine post-meal stroll, offering a calm contrast to the liveliness of the playground. Because it is all within the same park, you barely have to move your luggage, and the water play area is only steps away. On a clear day you can spend your time in wide-open scenery with views of Mt. Iwate (岩手山).

Tips

There is no guarantee of dining facilities inside the park, so bringing your own packed lunch and drinks is the safe choice. As a rule, take your rubbish home. In summer the metal parts of the play equipment get hot, so touch them to check the temperature before use. Sandals catch easily on play structures, so closed shoes with heel straps are safer. Avoid entering the water straight after eating; waiting about 30 minutes before heading to the Water Curtain is wiser. In the Japanese garden, keep an eye on children so they do not get too close to the water's edge.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. If you want to claim a good lunch spot, arriving before noon is safest.
