Biwako kodomo-no kuni

A huge park facility with a wide variety of playgrounds available for all ages of children. And it’s free!!! Bring a tent if you visit here because you will spend the whole day there. They also offer several paid activities, including an indoor playground and bike rides around the park. It’s recommended to bring your own food and drink because no supermarket/kombini nearby, but they have restaurant inside the building. At the back it is connected to Lake Biwa, and we can play by the lake. Totally recommend to visit this park. *Ps: if you plan to visit by public transportation, please check the bus schedule from Adogawa Station to this park beforehand because the schedule is quite infrequent, and come as early as possible to reserve a tent spot under big trees.

Kids and family park with Lake Biwa front. Amazing location and lots of activities for kids of all age groups. You can spend the whole day and still not cover all the activities they have to offer. Designates Bbq area where you can pay and get a spot to do bbq and setup camp, it’s a day camp site so you can’t stay overnight. The also have a central building with various cultural activities indoors like Handcrafts, gym, food court, wall climbing, air castle and more. Outdoors you have rental family rides and kids single bikes. Giant air balloon they call aqua roll where you can run inside a giant air ball. Disc golf and ground golf. Parking is 500 yen on site. Divides in 2 parts For bbq site on left after entering main parking lot. Very crowded during golden week for parking but there is also a private parking 100m on left before entering the parks parking.

Fantastic place to spend a whole day with your family, specially if you have little kids. Plenty of things to do, outdoor and indoor playgrounds, a small restaurant in case you decide not to bring obento, an area for BBQ, etc, and all for the price of the parking fee (500 yen for the whole day). Highly recommend as a day trip from Kyoto.

So many different playgrounds! All free! Also the scariest slide I've ever seen. I was not game to try...

Cool place to picnic while letting the kids loose in almost all free and fun activities! Bring your food and drinks if you plan on staying the day😊 Also parking your car is 500yen per entry for the whole day
