In Japan, it’s difficult to find large green spaces where families can spend time, run, play, and explore, but the city of Toyota got it right when they developed Kuragaike Park. Kuragaike Park is a place for those who enjoy walking and for taking children to play, see animals (as it has a small zoo), go paddle boating, and breathe fresh air.
“Play House,” an indoor play area for children, is a place where kids can run, climb, slide, and much more, keeping them occupied for hours.
Anyone who lives in Toyota has probably been to the park at least once; if you haven’t, you should definitely go.
