Hello there!
This is Saa-mama, your Sarukuma writer.

Today I’m excited to introduce a fantastic spot located in Uchinomaki, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture:
Aso Uchinomaki Family Park
“Aso☆Viva”!

This wonderfully spacious park sits just a short stroll away from Imakin Shokudo, the famous restaurant we covered previously ♫

The parking lot is wonderfully spacious,

and as part of COVID-19 safety measures, mask-wearing is encouraged,

and alcohol disinfection stations are thoroughly provided to prevent infection!

There’s also an important notice posted: Ball games, badminton, frisbee, and similar activities are prohibited as they may disturb other guests and pose safety risks.

The vending machines offer a wide variety of options, so even if you didn’t bring drinks along, you’ll have nothing to worry about!

You’ll find hand-washing stations, plus a sandbox and a seesaw too ^ – ^ ♪

The park has well-equipped restrooms, and the multipurpose toilet includes a diaper changing station, making it a stress-free spot to visit with little ones (*^ω^*)

Plenty of benches are scattered throughout the park, and we saw lots of families relaxing, sitting back, and enjoying picnic lunches in the cool tree shade ♫

Highlights You’ll Love

The park features a rare and exciting battery car attraction!

The kids riding the battery cars looked absolutely thrilled — it’s a chance to enjoy that classic theme-park go-kart feeling right here in the park ♬

The track is surprisingly long, taking riders on a full lap from start to finish — and the battery cars are so popular with kids that there was a real lineup waiting their turn!

A few rules to know before riding the battery cars:
Open to children ages 3 through elementary school, kids must be able to turn the steering wheel and press the red pedal on their own, and the cost is 100 yen per lap, per person. All clearly posted on the sign!

You’ll also find a Tarzan rope ride,

a tire-shaped swing,

and even a swing made for the youngest children!

The park’s main attraction catches your eye the moment you walk through the entrance —
no matter which angle you look from, it just screams fun:
a giant adventure-style combination playground!

This large combination playground features a wide variety of slides — long ones, short ones, and many different shapes and styles.
Kids can spend the entire day here without ever getting bored. It’s truly a park bursting with fun ♬
