First of all, I wanna say this park is so huge. There are ponds surrounded by hills. The park area is also spacious. It can be reached only for about 1 hour from Okayama Station by bus. Things to do in this park: Playing on the playground. Ducks and swans feeding. There is a pond, near the playground in where you can give food to ducks and swans. But, you have to bring the ducks food on your own. I saw people brought a pack of bread, and feed the ducks with it. It is also a good place if you are interested in bird photography. Tracking hills. If you enjoy walking and tracking the hills, this is a good place for you. I saw people in outdoor outfit enjoying the nature by tracking the trail. The trail is surrounded by dense canopy, giving the feeling of a forest. Enjoying autumn leaves. I visited this park in autumn season. There are some spots with great autumn leaves scenes.
I highly recommended this place for family trip, either with your child or your parents for enjoying nature together. Don't worry about toilets, you can find them easily. The toilet near the park area is equipped with a bidet washlet.
