Kamichiba Sunahara Park is more than just a green space — it’s a multi-purpose park that combines a large playground, a mini zoo, and a traffic park, all completely free to enjoy. It’s a perfect destination for families traveling with children who want to have fun without spending much.
🌀”Mobius Loop” – The Giant Tube Playground
One of the most eye-catching features is the huge tube-shaped playground known as the Mobius Loop. This structure is especially popular with elementary school-aged children. It offers different ways to play based on age and ability, so even repeat visitors can enjoy something new each time.
🚲 Learn Traffic Rules While Having Fun
It’s a fun and safe way for children to learn the basics of traffic safety while riding around.

- Ride free bicycles, pedal-powered go-karts, mini cars, and tricycles
- Practice on realistic road setups complete with traffic lights, road signs, and even elevated crossings
