About Goldfish & Carp Park (Kingyo to Koi no Sato Hiroba)

Hello, travelers!
This is Asukarando, your Saru-Kuma writer.

Today’s featured spot is located in Nagasu Town, Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture:
the wonderful “Kingyo to Koi no Sato Hiroba” (Goldfish & Carp Park)!

Let me introduce you to Nagasu Town’s beloved park, ‘Kingyo to Koi no Sato Hiroba’ (Goldfish & Carp Park)! (*^^*)

There’s plenty of parking space! (^-^)

Right next to the parking lot, you’ll find spacious restrooms! (^з^)-☆

There are even changing platforms — a real plus for families with kids!

There’s a diaper-changing station too! (^-^)

Vending machines are conveniently located near the restrooms! (^o^)/

There’s a hand-washing station right in front of the restrooms.

The same set of restrooms, hand-washing stations, and vending machines is also located at the far end of the park — super convenient! (^-^)

Alright, let’s head into the park!

Heads up: bicycles are not allowed inside!

On the way to the playground area, you’ll spot a beautiful man-made stream filled with colorful koi (carp) swimming gracefully.
Carp food is sold inside the neighboring ‘Kingyo no Yakata’ (Goldfish Hall).
Please do not feed them anything else.

Beyond the stream, you’ll be greeted by a peaceful, scenic landscape! (^o^)/
With cherry blossom trees throughout the area, it’s also a fantastic hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spot in spring! (*^^*)
