HIRONO SEASIDE PARK, SHIZUOKA

HIRONO SEASIDE PARK, SHIZUOKA

This beautiful seaside beach playground is in Shizuoka Prefecture. Hirono Seaside Park.
It is 3 hours by car from central Tokyo. If you wanted to visit here by train it’s a bit more awkward ( take a bullet train to Shizuoka Station and then a local train to Mochimune Station and then a 25 min walk.) 

It almost always comes up in Google Maps as Hirono Seaside Park but if you can’t find it – try the Japanese name Hirono Kaigan Koen. 

If you are on a road trip – I recommend staying close by like we did at Hatago Inn, Shizuoka (I’ve written about it and have lots of pictures here.) 

Walking to HIrono Seaside Park from the Car Park (only 1 min walk by the water.) Car park is open from 6am-9pm -until 8pm in winter months.

The path beside the playground is sealed and would be beautiful for parents taking a walk with a baby in a stroller.

Hirono Seaside Park has a small water play area (suitable for toddlers), a large ship shaped playground, a flying fox and an adventure playground.  There are also public restaurants here. 


The splash pad section for toddlers looks like this.  

And next to the ship playground is the flying fox.

There is an adventure playground next to the ship playground structure too. 
Next to the playground are lots of these Anpanman statues.

Not an “authentic” Japanese recommendation BUT  it’s a realistic recommendation for a road trip – there are lots of Drive Thru McDonalds in this area (this is very rare in the bigger cities in Japan.

Here is an amazing roadside stop on the way back into Tokyo – and it has a Mt Fuji View!
