Great Lawn Plaza (大芝生広場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This spacious lawn area is the signature spot of Bihoku Hillside Park (国営備北丘陵公園), with the large play structure Kyu-no-Oka right next to it. The lawn stretches as far as you can see, so you will never struggle to find a place to spread out a picnic sheet for lunch. The play structure is a big one combining slides, nets and more, and getting some exercise before the water play makes the water afterward feel even better. Choose a spot with tree shade and the breeze runs through, keeping the area comfortable even in midsummer.

Tips

Shade on the lawn is limited, so the trick is to claim a shaded spot early. Distances inside the park are long, so checking the park shuttle bus and rental cycle service at the entrance makes the day easier. Taking your trash home with you is the basic rule. Play equipment can get hot in the sun, so touch the slide surface to check the temperature before letting children play.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Ideally, rest a little after lunch before heading to the water
