Kodomo no Kuni is a huge natural park that sits at Aoba Ward in Yokohama City and Machida City in Tokyo. Commemorating the wedding of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince (currently Emperor Akihito) in April 1959, the park was opened on May 5, 1965, Children’s Day, with the funds collected from all over Japan.
There are plenty of playground equipment and athletics, such as the playground equipment plaza “Time Travel” and “Children’s Ranch”, so your children can enjoy all day long.
