    A park featuring bamboo groves with sasa bamboo and over 200 unusual bamboo varieties, both native and introduced.

The park also has barbecue facilities, a campground, bungalows, and other amenities where you can enjoy the great outdoors with friends and family.

    新緑が、キラキラとまぶしく、きれいでした。少し坂があります。 お花の時期が、終わっていたのか、なにもありません。

    Tottori Yazu-gun Yazucho Nishidani Funaoka Takebayashi Park
    The first mini steam locomotive museum in Japan, where 18 steam locomotives (SL) are on display at Funaoka Chikurin Park (which has one of the country's leading bamboo groves). Actually powered by burning coal, all of the mini SLs are handmade. The trains change every weekend and run through the seasonal garden in the park. The various models will excite train enthusiasts, including a D51 type steam locomotive (a leading model of the former Japanese National Railways), a superheated steam tank locomotive C21, and a classic British steam train called Royal Scot Class by the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway .

    展示は、一部屋だけで、小さい子が乗れる列車が、あるだけです。 京都鉄道博物館を見てるだけに、いまいちでした。ミニのSLの模型だけでなく、買えるSLもたくさん置いて欲しいです。紙のSLが500円でした。

    Tottori Yazu-gun Yazucho Tokumaru
    "An orchard catering to tourists near Roadside Station Hatto. Visitors can join in harvesting grapes, pears, apples, and chestnuts annually from late August to mid-November. Entry includes picking as much fresh and juicy seasonal fruit like pears and apples as you can eat with no time limit. The flavor of fruit raised on the clear waters of the Hatto River in the gorgeous mountains is outstanding. The whole Hatto area, which includes the orchard, is known as the ""Land of Fruit"" because it produces an abundance of Nijisseiki pears, Saijo persimmons, and more."

    カリヤ通りを散策していた際に見掛けて立寄ってみました。「若桜宿」統一表記がありレトロ建築保存を兼ねて町並みに溶け込んでいるようでした。但し、時節柄訪問客は僅かのようで、特段おもちゃに興味があったわけではないので建物外観見学だけと相成りました。
