Niigata Prefectural Toyanogata Park, Shumoku Area

Flow of the course

About this spot

A rest facility in the Shumoku area, easy to use as a base before and after water play. Because you can catch your breath in a roofed, air-conditioned space, it is just right for a break slotted into midsummer outdoor play. Spreading out a packed lunch you brought is one option, and picking up a drink and moving to the lawn is another pleasant way to spend the time. The stream is a short walk away for the afternoon, so getting your change of clothes ready here makes everything go smoothly. Check where the toilets are while you are at it.

Tips

Opening hours and services vary by season, so checking the park's official website for availability on the day is the surest approach. Eating outdoors in midsummer is tough, so having lunch indoors and resting is recommended. Rubber sandals can be borrowed at the Shumoku Information Center.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Lets you spend the strongest sunlight around noon indoors
