Aichi Kodomo no Kuni
A large park in nature where everyone from children to adults can smile.
A vast children's recreational park covering 1 million square meters. The park consists of two hills, Asahigaoka and Yuhigaoka, and was built with the hope that children would develop healthy bodies and rich hearts through play amid abundant nature and sunshine.
The park features large playground equipment such as the 130-meter-long Dragon Play Structure and the 100-meter roller slide, where children can play freely and safely. Paid rides such as the real steam-powered children's train, Kodomo Kisha, go-karts, and battery-powered mini cars are also popular. There are also several indoor facilities, including Science LABO, where kids can enjoy hands-on science experiments, and the Nikoniko Floor for infants and toddlers, so families can have fun even on rainy days.
The park also has a ride called the Land Train for getting around, and visitors can get on and off at stops located throughout the spacious grounds. In addition to the wide lawn plaza where you can relax on a picnic sheet, the campground also has barbecue facilities and permanent tents, making it possible to stay overnight in the park.
