✅Comprehensive evaluation: A comprehensive play area suitable for both adults and children.
Although it is called Seaside Park, the state-run Uminakado Park is actually a comprehensive recreation area suitable for both big and small children. The fee is cheap and the transportation is also considered convenient. It is popular with locals and highly recommended for tourists. It is possible to arrange a small trip to Fukuoka for a few days.

The artificial landscape and amusement facilities may be relatively small, but it is definitely a paradise close to nature.
For the big friends of us, the children’s playground is of course not accessible, and the water world is not open. The biggest reward of this trip is to stroll around on a bicycle. It is really comfortable to ride in the park full of trees.In the process of looking at flowers and plants and getting close to animals, you can chat and joke, which is quite pleasant. Compared with the trip to the theme park and busy taking pictures, it may be more leisurely here.
