A Sarukuma writer’s firsthand visit report on “Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park” in Kasuga, Nishi Ward, Kumamoto City. Includes family-friendly tips, access information, and operating hours.
Introducing Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park
Hello, travelers!
This is Asukarando, your Sarukuma writer.
Today I’m excited to introduce a hidden gem located in
Kasuga, Nishi Ward, Kumamoto City—
“Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park”!
I recently visited Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park, tucked away just behind Kumamoto Station! (^-^)v
While there’s no dedicated parking lot at the park itself,
its prime location behind Kumamoto Station means there are plenty of coin-operated parking lots within walking distance. (^-^)/
Why You’ll Love Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park
This is a small but mighty park, and because it sits right behind Kumamoto Station,
the Shinkansen (bullet train) passes by right in front of you! \(^o^)/
If you or your kids are train enthusiasts, this park is an absolute dream come true! (^-^)/
And check out this perfectly placed bench—the ultimate VIP seat!
It’s positioned so perfectly that it must have been installed just for Shinkansen viewing!
Absolutely fantastic! (⌒0⌒)/~~
There are three benches in total. (^-^)
There’s also a swing set, so kids can keep busy playing while waiting for the next Shinkansen to zip past! (^-^)v
It may be a small park, but the front-row Shinkansen views from Kasuga Rokuchome Miharashi Park are truly spectacular! \(^o^)/
