Hiruzen Kōgen Center

Hiruzen Kōgen Center is an amusement park on the Hiruzen Plateau that combines rides with gardens and animal exhibits spread across different sections. It features traditional carousels, roller coasters, and go-kart tracks alongside animal areas and seasonal plantings.

The park was established to transform the agricultural Hiruzen region into a modern recreation destination. Its blend of traditional and contemporary attractions reflects how rural areas in Japan have evolved to serve visitors while maintaining their character.

The gardens here display the Japanese attention to seasonal beauty, with rhododendrons blooming in shades that change the park's character throughout the year. Visitors come to experience this natural rhythm as much as to enjoy the rides.

The park has distinct areas that are walkable, with rest spots and food stations spread between attractions for convenience. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable visiting experience, when the gardens are in bloom and temperatures are mild.

The park is known for its Jingisukan grilling experience, where visitors can cook traditional Mongolian-style mutton at their tables, offering a unique dining element alongside the rides. This blend of food and entertainment is not typical for amusement parks in the region.
