This is a really nice park! There's access from the highway but also from the local roads. It's a considerably sized place, so if you like walking, running, walking, walking and athletic parks for kids, this place is great. There's also the zoo, which I also recommend. Typically, I'm not one to go to a zoo, but I was happy I brought my kids there.
The athletic park is the main attraction for my two monkeys, and the roller slides are their main focus. You'll see many people with little sleds, and this is what they're for. Kids might be immune to any harm from the slide, but parents are not! Pull keys out of your pocket, wearing a hole right through isn't great. Your butt, back and other bits seem like they'd never be susceptible, but a thick piece of cardboard or a sled can really save your aging bones. Maybe it helps kids, too?

A lot of walking with some great scenic lookout points on a clear day. The park was nice located on the side of a hill essentially, only one roller slide was available and my 5 y/o loved it, a lot of climbing. Park is not good for smaller kids, didn’t even attempt with my 2 y/o, definitely for bigger kids. As always, the Japanese people are so helpful and friendly....
