About the Park
Hello, fellow travelers!
This is Rikotama, writer for Sarukuma!
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to
Oe in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City‘s very own
Nakagawatsuru Park!

You’ll find this gem along Kogaibashi Street, right near Mama Delica β a wonderful spot we’ve featured on Sarukuma before!
There’s no on-site parking available, so you’ll want to use one of the nearby coin-operated parking lots.

Here are the restrooms.

And here’s the drinking fountain & hand-washing station!

You’ll also find one covered bench for shade or rest!

Right next to the playground area, there’s also a spacious open field for sports and activities!
