An event called the “Makiba Walk” has participants do a circuit around the whole ranch.

To be honest Makiba Park is not really a park but a pull-off rest area from the road connecting Kobuchizawa down in the valley (with its highway exit and train terminal) with the local resort area...

This seaside park stretches out across the coast opposite Kansai International Airport. The park itself is divided into two areas, Symbol Garden and Seaside Garden.
