My family and I visited Sarabetsu Noson Park for the first time on November 4, 2023, which was the second day of our three-day Culture Day Road Trip. This marked my 733rd day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. It was our first destination in the village of Sarabetsu. My daughter and I had a blast bonding in its play area. We tried the slide in the park, which is said to be one of the longest in the region.
