In the early morning of April 201, 4, a magnitude 15 earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu Island, which disrupted the small trip to Kyushu Island that was originally arranged early in May. When the disaster area was still in the recovery stage, Wendy's original plan was greatly changed. My Kitakyushu itinerary was transformed into a small trip centered on Fukuoka City. After enjoying Nakasuyatai’s food on the first night, I decided to take a healthy trip to get close to nature on the second day and come to the Uminakamichi in the north of Fukuoka City. Waterfront park.
How do I get to the Kai no Nakado Kaihama Park?
Uminakamichi Seaside Park is like a Disneyland in the mainland of Fukuoka. At JR Kagoshima Main Online, a bifurcated JR Kashii Line (海の中道) is specially created. Tourists who want to go to the seaside park must visit JR Kashii. The station transfers to the Kashii Line.

Seaside Park Tour: Animal Crossing.Flower Hill.Rose Garden
Kaizhongdao Seaside Park is a large-scale comprehensive park. The center of the park can be divided into five areas: zoo, garden square, outdoor theater, children's playground and water world. There are wild birds and forest ecological parks around.Those who bring children can choose the children's playground and the water world (limited in summer). The children's playground is closer to the entrance, so you don't need to rent a bicycle.
For the six big friends of our trip, we chose three places: Animal Crossing, Flower Hill and Rose Garden.The Animal Crossing is a zoo. The design is quite good. Visitors can interact closely with cute animals and kill time. Those who like to admire and photograph flowers should choose Dazhisheng Plaza. There are all kinds of flowers in the entire area. There are different flowers blooming in almost four seasons.
▲ Cycling takes the lead to arrive at the Animal Crossing. The zoo has two entrances. We will walk the first half from the northern entrance, and then visit the second half from the southern entrance.
▲ There is a fodder vending machine beside the railing, you can buy fodder to feed the animals.
▲ Animals are very realistic. If you want to take photos with animals, don't feed them too quickly, haha!
▲ If you want to take a photo with me, go buy a package of feed first.
▲ The zoo provides many opportunities for close contact with animals. The park also provides many hand washing equipment to remind visitors to wash their hands more.
▲ The cute animal area is very suitable for children to get close to cute animals.
▲ I bought the BAKE Cheese Tart at Tenjin Station early in the morning. Only then did I have the opportunity to have a picnic by the way. Remember to wash your hands first!
▲ The next stop is Dazhisheng Square.
▲ Dazhisheng Square has a large venue, and many large-scale activities are being held during the holidays.

▲After visiting the zoo and garden square, ride back!When I returned the car at the door, it was exactly three hours.
Conclusion: A comprehensive play area suitable for both big and small friends
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. I can arrange a small trip to Fukuoka for a few days. Maybe you don’t need to go all the way to the Huis Ten Bosch theme park, but you can come here directly. The artificial scenery 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. Cycling in the park full of trees is really quite comfortable.In the process of looking at flowers and plants and getting close to animals, you can chat and joke, which is quite comfortable. Compared with the trip to the theme park and busy taking pictures, it may be more leisurely.
▲ The flower season lasts 9 months a year, and there are different flowers to enjoy every month.
