    国道175号線の近くにある公園。 『公園』と名乗っていながらも結構な大きさ(約80,000m²)を持っており、入り口や出口を見失うことがあった。 しかし、それを除けば文句なし。 ひまわりの丘公園は、北播磨で最大の観光スポットではないかと勝手に自分で思っている。 四季折々に見せる花の景色が最高で、SNSで映えること間違いなし。 写真を撮るのに熱中したのはこの『ひまわりの丘公園』が初めてだと思う。

    前回訪れた際はモノレールがいっぱいで乗れなかったので 今回リベンジで訪問しました。 当日受付で予約しましたが空いていて乗れました。 ジェットコースターのようなレールで角度もあっておもしろかったです。 大人4名で静かに乗れたのも良かったです。 途中で鹿が見えて、癒されました。 山上では木製のイノシシがあって撮影スポットにぴったり! 子供連れの家族がイノシシに土足で上っていたのはちょっと残念でした...
