Why it called “Poppo”, there is a big steam locomotive!
We are not allowed to ride on it but sometimes can ride small one on weekend.
It has a rail that is 190 meter long in a parking and run it on that rail.
Also ride fare is free.
If it’s not busy, your kids can ride it many times over!

There is a children center next to the park and we can use diaper changing station in it if you need.
I recommend to eat lunch in the park because we able to get foods near here.
People hold a picnic in nice weather.
