Room to Play Beneath the Northern Japan Alps

Above all, the park’s greatest attraction is its rich natural setting.

The majestic Northern Japan Alps rise before you.

On the lawns beneath the blue sky, children can run freely, search for insects, or find four-leaf clovers. Nature itself becomes their playground.

Children who often hear “don’t run” in the city can enjoy all the space they need to move and play.

Even children who usually prefer games and television soon become absorbed in outdoor play.

Adults can enjoy a relaxing break too.

Spread out a picnic mat and read, admire the mountains over a coffee, or photograph the family at play.

Hakuba offers the chance to leave busy everyday life behind and enjoy a slower pace.

A Welcoming Place for Families with Young Children

The spacious grounds have plenty of benches and shade for a restful break.

Take a stroll with a stroller, or let young children enjoy balls and bubbles on the lawns. There are ways to enjoy the park at every age.

We also recommend bringing a picnic mat and enjoying lunch outdoors.

Sharing a packed lunch or snacks while looking out at the Northern Japan Alps is a special Hakuba experience.

The chance to relax together as a family is part of this park’s charm.

Fun Bicycles: A Favorite with Children

The park’s unusual bicycles are especially popular.

Try unique rides you rarely find elsewhere, from animal-shaped bicycles to large bicycles the whole family can pedal together.

“Let’s try this one next!”
“Let’s all ride together this time!”

Laughter fills the park, bringing smiles to parents and children alike.

Adults can rediscover their inner child and enjoy the rides too.

It is also a wonderful chance to take fun photos of your family holiday.

Hakuba is a popular summer retreat, and water play is a highlight for energetic children.

The park offers water-play areas and seasonal fish-catching experiences, with plenty of summer fun.

Dip your feet into the cool water for an instant refresh.

Children can splash happily while adults dip their feet in the water and enjoy Hakuba’s cool breeze and clear air.

Sports for the Whole Family

There are plenty of sports for the whole family to enjoy together.

On the well-maintained tennis courts, parents and children can practice rallies or play friendly family games.

Mallet golf has simple rules, making it a popular activity for young children and adults alike.

“Nice shot!”
“So close!”

These simple conversations arise naturally and bring the family closer together.

On holiday, the smiles matter more than winning or losing.

Enjoy the Outdoors with Barbecues and Fishing

For a leisurely day out, we also recommend a barbecue or fishing experience.

Meals shared with the family in nature taste especially good.

Children can help carry ingredients and set out plates while enjoying the outdoor atmosphere.

The delighted shout of “I caught one!” can become an unforgettable memory for a child catching their first fish.

In this open natural setting, even simple moments become special holiday memories.

Relax in a Hot Spring After a Day of Play
