Takacho Kitaharima Yokamura Park 多可町余暇村公園 is a hidden gem in central Hyogo. This large nature park has a couple of fantastic playgrounds, large roller slides, a rose garden, Japanese garden, grass field for sport, a creek flowing through the centre, a great cafe and camping/cottage facilities.

There really is something for all here. We have visited a few times now and my daughter loves it as much as us. If the weather is right you can easily spend a few hours here. The smaller kids playground is great for toddlers and the larger athletic course keeps the bigger kids happy. There are also a couple of long roller slides, don’t forget to grab foam board to sit on before you walk up to the top.

Chattana-no-Mori is the cafe and camping business located inside the park. They serve breakfast, lunch sets, sweets and drinks using local ingredients. The cafe overlooks the park and has some outdoor tables that get filled up quickly around lunch time on the weekend.

Takacho Kitaharima Yokamura Park is great for the whole family. Best accessed by car and takes about 80 minutes to get there from central Kobe.
