Space for children’s play
The place looks like it used to be an elementary school. It is a place where children can play to their heart’s content! For some reason, you can even get a kotatsu outdoors… (There is a fee for this service.). The stag beetle and rhinoceros beetle forest is located across the road, a bit far away from the space. I am sure you can catch a lot of insects in early summer.
