Fuchunomori Park

Wide open fields beside the airport make this especially fun for kids who like watching small planes come and go.

A creek, fields and wooded paths make this a good nature day for kids who would rather explore than climb equipment.

Kids can walk through real historic houses and shops, which is far easier to understand than looking at objects behind glass.

A huge lawn park with playgrounds and a historic open air museum, easy to stretch into a full day.

A real amusement park that feels more local than Disney, with family rides, thrill rides and a gondola from the station.

Feels more like wandering through a story than visiting a museum, with hidden details and a short film you can only see here.
