First place
Koriyama Culture Park / Dreamland (Koriyama)
148 votes

The park marks its 35th anniversary this year! This is a popular place for kindergarten and elementary school field trips in Koriyama City. In addition to attractions that are just big and thrilling enough for a first visit to an amusement park, there is also a pool and a covered playground, so you can enjoy yourself all year round.

The Dreamland doesn’t even need an admission ticket, and you can enjoy various rides the whole day. I especially love the Ferris wheel. The view from it is great.

Second place
Spa Resort Hawaiians (Iwaki)
34 votes

This is a resort facility where you can enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere on a day trip. The Hula dance team’s show, which has even been made into a movie, is always a sight to behold. The men’s fire dance team is also at a high level, competing in world competitions!

Third place
PEP kids Koriyama (Koriyama)
32 votes

I never thought there was such a convenient indoor playground in Koriyama! I was very surprised when I went there for the first time. In addition to play equipment such as a ball pool, sandbox, and trampoline, it is great that they have a wide variety of educational toys such as blocks and puzzles.

Since it’s indoors, you can go out by car whenever you want without worrying about the weather.
It is perfect for children as they can play to their heart’s content in a large space.

Fourth place
Koriyama Ishimushiro Fureai Farm (Koriyama)
27 votes

Not only can you interact with ponies, sheep, and alpacas, and get excited on a three-seater bicycle, but it’s great that you can also learn about the preciousness and value of life through food-related experiences such as milking cows and making butter.

《Reader’s comment》

You can feed the animals, play on the lawn, and ride bicycles, so kids can also enjoy it.

Fifth place
Kaiseizan Park / Lucky Park (Koriyama)
25 votes

This is a central park in Koriyama. It is great for cherry blossom viewing or a walk. Shops such as a cafe and beauty salon have opened recently. I am looking forward to future developments.

The aquarium, the pride of Fukushima Prefecture, allows you to feel the beauty of the ocean and the harshness of nature at the same time.

Fureai Science Museum Space Park (Koriyama)

The planetarium, which was renovated this year, is twice as bright as before. I must go there soon.

Eighth place
Mizuiro Park (Motomiya)

Summer is a great time to go to this park. In addition to your regular park clothes, be sure to pack a swimsuit as well. Even if you only intend to soak your feet, there is a 100% chance that your whole body will get soaked.

There is plenty of playground equipment, and there are a lot of fountains, making it a great place to play in the water in the summer. In winter, the illuminations are beautiful, and I think both children and adults can enjoy it.

Eighth place
Prince William Park (Motomiya)

If possible, I wouldn’t want to tell anyone about it. This park has a lot of indoor and outdoor play equipment. Recently, it has become a popular spot that is very crowded every weekend.

There is a great play area and plenty of gifts to buy. The Onibaba-related goods, such as Onibaba Manju, are probably the best in Japan.

＊Extra edition＊

It might be relatively quiet！

In this extra edition, we introduce the outing spots recommended by our readers that unfortunately did not make it into the top ten. Your future favorite might well be among them.

They are all free to enter！

The obstacle course at Otsuki Park ( 70-1 Urushibo, Otsuki-cho, Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture )

Even energetic boys will surely be satisfied♪

Otsuki Park, also known as the SASUKE set in Koriyama, is known for its abundance of obstacle courses that utilize the mountain. Thrilling play equipment is hard to find nowadays, so the large number of challenging areas that appeal to children’s sense of adventure are invaluable. Some places are quite high, so be careful not to get injured.

Muronoki Park (3-chome Gozenminami, Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture)

A perfect example of a neighborhood park！

Large parks are great, but small parks where kids can play as if they own the place also have their good points. Muronoki Park, near Koriyama 7th Junior High School, is equipped with roller slides and climbing boards, and its lineup is a model for nearby parks. It’s just the right size, so you can keep an eye on your children as they run around.

Pyonpyon Dome in Jurokunuma Park (341 Ozasoumanaitayama, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture)

I want a place like this in Koriyama too. 5 domes of trampolines.

An exciting spot with five large and small dome-shaped trampolines, which are rare in this prefecture. The fluffy mats are surrounded by grass, so even small children can play safely. This is an excellent park that also has a water playground, a large slide, and more.

Shirasawa Yume Library (500 Tsutsumisaki, Shiraiwa, Motomiya City, Fukushima Prefecture)

A spacious, clean and relaxing library where you can spend the whole day.

Did you know that Motomiya City is a reading town? The “Shirasawa Yume Library” lives up to its name and is fully carpeted, so you can relax and find a book you like. In front of the building is a spacious lawn called Yumehiroba, and the library is a dream-like place that is full of surprises.
