Highlights

Without a doubt, the star of the show is right here!
Higokko Jungle!!!!!
It’s no exaggeration to call this one of the largest combination play structures in all of Kumamoto City!

It’s so massive, it barely fits in a single photo — a true giant playground!
It even comes with 5 different slides.

The signature attraction of Higokko Jungle — a super-long roller slide!

Plus a triple-slide setup with three slides side-by-side!!!

And a long rope walk to challenge!!!

Toddlers and younger kids have their own equipment here, too!

There’s an adorable dog-shaped play structure,

and a bee-shaped one as well — kids will never run out of things to do!

There’s a wide grassy lawn perfect for ball games and free play!

Adults can kick back and relax on these benches!

With autumn — Japan’s perfect outing season — in full swing, why not pack a bento and head out for a day of fun?
The kids are guaranteed to be entertained from morning to evening!
