Okura Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park in Momoyamacho, Obu City, developed on the grounds of a businessman's former villa. The thatched gate standing at the entrance is the landmark, and inside, groves and small paths run on in a quiet you would not expect in town. It is also known for its azaleas, and in season the slopes fill with color. The grounds are not too large, making it just the right size to walk with young children. Walking it while thinking back on the story of Obu you saw at the museum of history and folklore opens up family conversation. Take a short walk through the greenery before the water play to shift gears.

Tips

Some paths have slopes, so comfortable walking shoes are reassuring. There is plenty of shade, but do not forget drinks. Keeping it to a short walk rather than a long stay leaves everyone with energy for the afternoon water play.

Best time to visit

About 35 minutes. Plenty of tree shade makes it easy to walk even in the strong afternoon sun
