Introducing Riverside Park (Family Bath)

Hello everyone! This is Asukarando, writer for [Sarukuma].

Today I’m excited to introduce Riverside Park, located in Hayashibaru, Shichijo-machi, Kikuchi City.
[Riverside Park]

Riverside Park offers a swimming pool, BBQ facilities, lodging, and private family baths — a true all-in-one leisure destination!
This time, we tried out the family bath, so let me walk you through the experience (^з^)-☆

Riverside Park is conveniently located right next to Kamogawa Riverside Park, which we’ve also featured here on Sarukuma!

Here’s the price list! (^-^)/

Per room (50 minutes):
Non-Kikuchi residents: 1,050 yen
Kikuchi residents: 840 yen

Kikuchi City residents enjoy a small discount, but even for visitors, the price is per room — not per person — making it an incredibly affordable option for families and groups!

There’s a comfy bench in the central area, perfect for relaxing after your soak (*^^*)

There’s even a foot bath (ashiyu) — a perfect way to unwind while you wait for your family bath room to be ready! (^-^)

The vending machines are well-stocked too — not just drinks, but also ice cream and cup noodles!

Ice cream after a hot bath? Yes, please! ☆

Why We Recommend Riverside Park (Family Bath)

Step inside, and you’ll find a charming lodge-style room (⌒0⌒)／~~
It almost feels like you’ve checked into a cozy mountain retreat! (*^^*)

The high ceilings give the space an airy, open feel — perfect for total relaxation!

Each room has its own toilet and washbasin, so you don’t have to step outside — a huge plus for families with young children!

The long, spacious layout is roomy enough that kids can even splash around comfortably! (^-^)
