    Gunma Pref. Maebashishi Otemachi 3-16-3
    Founded in 1954, the self-designated “most nostalgic park in Japan” is an amusement park located in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. The park runs fondly remembered rides of old, including a merry-go-round, a choo-choo train, and an airplane tower, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The wooden horse stable runs five automated horse rides that are Registered Tangible Cultural Properties. Entrance is free. The large rides cost 50 yen, while the wooden horse rides, popular with local children, are 10 yen.

    All the rides are cheap and are good for families with young kids as other reviewers indicated, probably good for around 5yrs old. Went there on a weekday, pretty much empty, spent around an hour and...

    他の方のレビューにもあるように、完全に子供向けです。今回は台風が来ている、という中行ったので、お盆時期にも関わらず最初はほぼ貸切状態でした。親子4人で行きましたが、二人は父と6歳息子はフリーパス、母と0歳息子は入場料のみで入ったのでコスパも良かったです。雨も止んで急に暑くなってきたら、氷の館が人気で「温度調整中」ということで入れなくなったのが残念でした。

    This forest park is located at the western foot of Mt. Akagi between 600 and 700 meters above sea level. Visitors can enjoy the park's gorgeous natural beauty interwoven with Japan's rich, seasonal diversity, including plants in full bloom in spring, lush greenery in summer, spectacular foliage in fall, and the reverberating cries of wild birds in winter. Aiming to achieve harmony between human beings and nature, for more than 30 years the park has worked to create an environment in which plants can grow lush and vibrant and in which insects and animals can live with ease, and today visitors can catch sight of a wide variety of plants and insects living in a state very close to untouched nature.

    全部廻ると2時間、1万歩くらいかかるようです。ルートも一本道ではなく分岐しているので、自分の位置が直ぐ分からなくなります。なので案内図を忘れずに歩き始めましょう。良く整備されたハイキングコースというイメージです。気持ちの良い森の中、思う存分迷ってみましょう。

    またまた、スキー帰りにいちご狩りです。春スキーは、午前中に終わらせて空腹のままいちご狩りに突入してみました。この地域は渋川インターから15分くらいなので便利に数回来ています。今回はココ「陽一郎園」にしてみました。実は事前調査していて5種類の新種があるというので食べ飽きを少しでも防ぎたかったからです。 1、紅ほっぺ:甘酸っぱい、ザ・いちごという感じでした。 2、やよいひめ:大きくて甘ーい、食べ応...
