The symbol of Hobara Comprehensive Park! The roller slide is very popular with children

The specialty is the super long roller slide (long slider) at Genki Square!

The attraction is that you climb various athletic courses before reaching the starting line of the slide on high ground.
Children climb like ninjas over wobbly log bridges and net tunnels. It might be a bit tiring for adults... Of course, you can also climb up the stairs, so both small children and adults can climb up to the starting line at the top. However, children dare to challenge themselves with the more difficult courses and climb steadily to the top.

Finally, we reach the starting line! We slide down from a height overlooking the park. It's a thrilling experience for both children and adults

When sliding down a roller slide,cardboardIf you bring a cardboard box with you, your bottom won't hurt. Adults, who are heavier than children, are more likely to get sore, so try laying a cardboard box on the floor

The sliding speed is not too fast, so even children can adjust their speed. Children climb up and slide down again and again. There is a bench near the finish line that overlooks the roller slide, so if your child can slide down by themselves, parents can sit near the finish line and watch them

In addition to the roller slide,There are two short roller slides that even small children can slide downThere are also colorful circular tunnels, net play equipment, and a sandbox, so you can have fun to your heart's content

The exterior is Western-style, but the interior is purely Japanese. The elaborate construction shows the high level of skill and originality of the craftsmen of the time
Inside the bay window, which is one of the distinctive features of the former Kameoka family home, there is a staircase leading to the third floor, but if you look closely, you will see a scratch on the staircase where a persimmon has been carved. There are many other carvings throughout the house, so it's fun to look around looking for them
