Kansai Cycle Sports Center, Bicycle-themed amusement park in Kawachinagano, Japan.
Kansai Cycle Sports Center is a bicycle-themed park in Amano-chō, Kawachinagano, within the Kongō-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park. Its entrance combines angled white beams framing green and white panels, a white canopy roof on dark posts, and a lower building with a striped green-and-white roof over glass-and-wood walls. Inside, a 3 km cycling course runs through the park, and a 10,000 m² area holds about 800 unusual bicycles visitors can ride.
The center sits inside Kongō-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park in Amano-chō, Kawachinagano, a designated park area in the Okukawachi district of Osaka Prefecture. Its 400-meter velodrome track is not open to the general public, but keirin racers train on it, among them Yūsaku Koshi, Shō Inagawa and Shūji Minami. An anime commercial directed by Daisuke Tokudo, with character design by Shōko Nishigaki and music by OreSkaBand, has aired on Kansai local television since 2010.
The park's nickname is KCSC, and its slogan is "Let's!! Kogikogi!! Exercise!!". The 10,000-square-metre area for unusual bicycles invites visitors to submit their own designs for odd machines. A paid bicycle school for children runs by reservation, with a separate course for adults.
The park lies inside Kongō-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park in Amano-chō, Kawachinagano, and is reached by Nankai bus from Kawachinagano Station: line 404 bound for Cycle Center, or the Hino-Takihata community bus (routes 400, 419, 419V) to the Cycle Center stop. Admission is charged separately from ride tickets, so a one-day free pass covering entry and unlimited rides is sold. A paid bicycle school for children requires a reservation.
The collection holds around 800 unusual bicycles, including a pedal-powered roller coaster where riders pump their own speed by turning the cranks. Other designs seat more than four people side by side or steer in reverse.
