Kamui no Mori Park Details
In 1991, Kamui no Mori Park earned its place as one of 15
parks in Japan designated by the Ministry of Construction (now the Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism) under the "Heisei Memorial
Children's Forest Park Development Project." This initiative aimed to
create spaces where children, the future leaders of tomorrow, could grow up
healthy in lush, green environments.

Designed with Kids in Mind
The park’s design was inspired by insights shared during the
"Kamui no Mori Park Children's Conference" held in 1992, where local
elementary students voiced their ideas. One of their key suggestions—a need for
indoor facilities—led to the creation of the popular WakuWaku Egg Indoor Playground, ensuring year-round fun regardless of the weather.

Team Nicerio visits Kamui no Mori Park
On June 10, 2023, my daughter and I visited Kamui no Mori
Park for the first time, coinciding with my 586th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. This visit turned out to be the highlight of our day. I made
sure to include it in our itinerary so Ella could enjoy some well-deserved
playtime. It wasn’t just Ella who had a great time—I also thoroughly enjoyed
exploring the park.

Getting to Kamui no Mori Park
The most convenient way to reach Kamui no Mori Park is by
private or rental car, as it is located on the outskirts of Asahikawa City. If
you prefer to use public transportation, here's what I'm familiar with, though
it involves quite a bit of walking.
From Asahikawa Station, head towards the 1-Jo 8-Chome bus
stop and take the 50-Inosawa Line to Ubun 2-go, operated by the Dohoku bus
company. Get off at the Kamui 7-Jo 15-Chome bus stop. From there, it's about a
2.5-kilometer walk to the park.
