Shinrin Park 森林公園、埼玉県
Shinrin Park 森林公園
Thursday, Aug.28th 2008, I went to Shinrinkouen in Namegawamachi, Hikigun, Saitama Prefecture. I arrived at west entrance (西口) which has many attractions, such as water park, athletic field (wood swings, balance beams, climbing ropes, sliding ropes, jungle gym, see-saw, pyramid rope, kid's dome/playground, circulation bus, restaurant, toilet, etc.). If you come with your kids, it is better to enter from West side. If you want to explore the park, the best way, I think, is from the central gate (中口) then go clockwise. At North Side, there is not a circulation bus and it is quite dull there, nothing but greenery and trees. The bus ticket costs 100 yen for kids and 200 yen for adults and 400 yen for one day pass. The Park entrance ticket costs 400 yen for adults and for kids (6-14 years old) 80 yen and the parking costs 610 yen. Rental bicyles will cost 410 yen for 3 hours (70 yen for every additional 30 min.) for adults and 250 yen for 3 hours (30 yen for every additional 30 min.) for children. It is worth visiting if you like nature and walking. Please use mosquito repellent if you want to have fun in the park.
