Kamine Park

Kamine Park is an urban park in Hitachi featuring a zoo and amusement rides located at the base of Mount Kurakake. The grounds offer viewing spots where visitors can look out over the city and toward the Pacific Ocean.

The park was established in 1957 as a recreational space for the region. Over time it expanded to include multiple attractions and became an important destination for visitors throughout the area.

The park serves as a gathering place during cherry blossom season in spring, when visitors walk among flowering trees that dot the grounds. This seasonal tradition shapes how people experience and value the space throughout the year.

Different sections of the park require separate admission and may have varying hours of operation. It is best to check opening times before visiting, as some areas operate seasonally rather than year-round.

The park blends a zoo, amusement rides, and natural surroundings all positioned on a hillside location. This combination of family entertainment with outdoor scenery in one destination is less common in the area.
