Ehime Children's Castle, Theme park in Matsuyama, Japan
Ehime Children's Castle is a theme park in Matsuyama that spreads across a large site with several zones featuring adventure hills, creative spaces, and natural forests. The facility was designed specifically for children and combines different activity areas on one connected ground.
The park was founded to give children in Ehime Prefecture opportunities to learn through play and outdoor experiences. This initiative grew from the belief that educational experiences outside of schools contribute greatly to child development.
The facility hosts regular art exhibitions and workshops where children learn to make traditional Japanese crafts and join in seasonal celebrations. Visitors can watch young people engaging with local art forms and creating their own works throughout the year.
The main entrance to the park is free to access, while certain attractions like the bobsled track and cycle monorail require additional fees. Visitors should plan for different activity costs and allow time to explore both free and paid experiences.
The site features Japan's longest zipline in the Shikoku region, stretching across the natural landscape. Riders gain sweeping views over Matsuyama city during their descent.
