Sarue Onshi Park (猿江恩賜公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Sarue Onshi Park was created on land that was once a timber storage yard of the Edo shogunate, and the north garden spreads out with a lawn and groves of trees. Even though it sits in the middle of the city, there is a substantial stretch of greenery, so choosing a shaded spot lets you settle in and lay out a bento. The splash pond is switched off from 12:00 to 13:00, so devoting that hour to eating and resting makes the day flow neatly. The park also has the Mini Magnolia Plaza and Tiara Koto, so even just walking around between breaks offers a change of scene. Resting properly after the meal means you can enjoy the afternoon water play right to the end.

Tips

Picking up your bento and drinks around Sumiyoshi Station or Kinshicho Station before entering the park makes things go smoothly. Trash must be taken home as a rule, so bring plenty of bags. Avoid entering the water right after eating; wait 20 to 30 minutes before heading off to change. Shaded spots fill up quickly around midday, so securing one early puts you at ease.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. It is efficient to overlap this with the 12:00 to 13:00 shutdown of the pond
