Hachinohe Park in Hachinohe City is a representative park in Aomori Prefecture. It has a vast site of 37 hectares (about the size of 8 Tokyo Domes).

There are three main areas within the park: an amusement park, a botanical garden, and a zoo. Approximately 2,000 cherry trees are in full bloom in spring. It has been selected as one of the ``Tohoku Dream Cherry Blossom Road 88 Places'' and is a famous cherry blossom spot representing Tohoku.

In addition, the more than 700 roses are a must-see in early summer and autumn. This time, we will introduce Hachinohe Park, a place of relaxation that Hachinohe is proud to offer.

Kodomo no Kuni (Amusement Park Zone)

There are amusement parks available at reasonable prices. One vehicle ticket is 110 yen. You can ride a roller coaster with these 3 tickets.

A wide variety of inexpensive attractions

One of the most popular is the ``Family Swinger,'' a trapeze that rotates at high speed. It spins so fast that you wonder if the chain will break, so it's thrilling in many ways. Another appeal is that you can ride with just one ticket.

You can experience horseback riding only on Sundays and holidays. Of course, you will also need a vehicle ticket. You will need the same three sheets as the roller coaster.

Since it's a pony, children can ride it without fear.

There are many attractions such as miniature trains, cycle monorails, go-karts, and Ferris wheels. All of them are cheap and there are many kinds, so you can enjoy them all day long.

Especially during the cherry blossom season, you can ride through cherry blossoms such as Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Yaezakura, so not only children but also many adults enjoy the ride.

Children's building is a free play facility

The 385 Children's Center is an indoor facility with free play equipment. There are many small children. There is a small free climbing wall. The children are climbing hard.

There is a giant spider net that children can roll around in and play with. Two or three staff members are always on hand to warn children if they are playing in a dangerous way. This is a facility where parents can let their children play with peace of mind.

(1) Craft classes are popular

The children's museum regularly holds craft classes called ``Kurafutoland.'' This is a handmade craft class for children, and the themes vary depending on the occasion.

For example, on September 2, 2018, we will hold ``Vehicle Land,'' where we will make vehicles using trees and nuts harvested within the park.

On September 16th, participants will also create owls using nuts and other items collected at Hachinohe Park. The event is held from 10:00 to 12:00, and the great thing about it is that you can participate for free.

The large artificial turf slope is also free of charge.

There is a large artificial grass slope. Of course, you can enjoy sledding all year round. It's a lot of fun because it's quite fast. Use of the slopes is free.

Please note that we do not rent out sleds. If you plan to enjoy sledding, you will need to bring your own.

Numerous real vehicles on display that are popular with children

Another characteristic of Hachinohe Park is that there are many actual exhibits. Actual items such as propeller planes, locomotives, fire trucks, a ship called the Hachinohemaru, and helicopters are all on display. The children are overjoyed.

The locomotive is a real "D51 steam locomotive" and you can sit in the driver's seat. You can feel like a driver.

The propeller plane is also a "B-65" that was actually used by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. There is real emotion.

You can not only look at the squid fishing boat ``Hachinohemaru'', but also go up on the deck and go inside the boat. The good thing about it is that you can actually touch and see it.

You can also enjoy the zoo

In the zoo area, cute squirrels and ducks that are popular with girls will welcome you. There is also Monkey Mountain, home to the northernmost monkeys. In winter, the pond at Mt. Monkey turns into hot water, and you can watch the monkeys taking a bath.

When there are newborn baby monkeys, you can experience feeding them. If you are lucky enough to have a baby monkey, give it a try.

There are also many animals that you can interact with. In addition to squirrels and ducks, there are also rabbits and brown tortoises.

From barbecues to camping

A peaceful walk in the botanical garden

There is a botanical garden where you can see many plants. There is also a rose garden and a Japanese garden. Gardening classes such as flower arranging and Christmas wreath making are held.

Many roses named after princesses from around the world bloom in the rose garden. Queen Elizabeth, Diana Princess of Wales, Princess Michiko, etc.

Princess Aiko, which was created to celebrate the birth of Princess Aiko, is especially popular. There are many rare roses, so this is a must-see spot for rose lovers. The best time to see them is June and October.
