Guida
Komorebi Mori no Ibaraido is an experiential theme park located in Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, surrounded by abundant natural beauty. More than just a sightseeing spot, its greatest feature is the variety of hands-on activities that engage the senses, such as touching animals, making your own crafts, and physical play. The landscape, inspired by the charming countryside of France, provides a nostalgic and beautiful setting where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and truly relax.
The facility began in 1998 as the "Edosaki Agricultural Park Potiron no Mori." In 2016, it evolved into its current form, "Komorebi Mori no Ibaraido," expanding its offerings to provide even more diverse experiences. The area maintains a deep connection to agriculture and nature, serving as a beloved destination that celebrates the local culture and the richness of the surrounding environment.
The park is dotted with various spots that ensure visitors of all ages stay entertained. You can enjoy interacting with animals, exploring areas with seasonal plants, and engaging in water-based activities like the "Jabujabu Pond" or pedal boats, which are hits with children. Additionally, there are areas where you can immerse yourself in the whimsical world of Sylvanian Families, making it a perfect destination for both children and adults.
Because the park celebrates the changing seasons, it is a charming destination throughout the entire year. In spring and summer, the flowers in full bloom create a stunning backdrop for outdoor enjoyment. While it is highly recommended to be active under the bright daylight, visiting during the calmer afternoon hours is also a wonderful way to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the scenery.
The true essence of Komorebi Mori no Ibaraido lies in its diverse program of activities. You can experience the joy of touching animals, express your creativity through craft workshops, or enjoy a hearty BBQ. For food lovers, the park offers gourmet experiences through its restaurant and dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. These are not just sightseeing activities but memorable experiences that stay with you.
The area around Inashiki City is rich in nature and known for its vibrant agriculture and food culture. After your adventures at the theme park, we recommend visiting nearby roadside stations (Michi-no-Eki) or local farm stands to find fresh agricultural products and local specialties. It is an excellent driving route to soak in the relaxed atmosphere of Ibaraki.
As most activities take place outdoors, comfortable clothing and well-worn walking shoes are essential. If you plan to enjoy the water activities or the BBQ, we recommend clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty. It is also wise to bring a light jacket or a hat to adapt to changing weather. Please respect the rules of the park and treat the animals and plants with care to preserve the natural environment.
