This public Eco friendly park is huge and like most of the Japanese public park around japan it’s clean and has a lot to offer. It has a collection of cacti and varieties of flowers. It has a cafeteria too, that offers yummy food. Small children and adults alike could enjoy various outdoor activities all year round.

An excellent park. Has a small indoor cactus garden plus loads of play spaces for kids including several jungle gyms, a shallow pool, and large open field.

It’s a gud place for a picnic day out.seeing floral places giving us very pleasant mind with walking around. Kids can enjoy playing many different climbs and slides. And the is a play ground. Near to me

Beautiful flowers and formal gardens. Very nice playground and water play area for children. There is also a top notch restaurant as well. Enjoy!

Nice park (garden) for kids

A very aptly named park. Gorgeous flowers. Play places for the kids and a nice little cafe’.

Ok

Big beautiful park in central Kariya. Great sports facilities and they have a great fireworks display.

Every year during Summer they held Hanabi which is a Fireworks Festival. We go every year to witness the event with our friends and Family. Such a magnificent display in the sky 🎆

Good spot for doing barbecue with friends close to the river!

Used their indoor pool. Clean and reasonably priced. Open until 10pm and easy to drop by after work.

I really @ike this place because of the camping space near the river where you can do barbecues. I recomend family events like birthdays and family days during summer time.

Great park with a gymnasium and soccer field, great space for jogging , physical exercises, or just enjoy nature.

Awesome place, Free parking and Good for family and friends for barbecue.🎶 LJeieru😁👍

Nice place. Beautiful. There's no bicycle parking lot but you can park at the nearby gymnasium.

It’s a beautiful place to visit , the cherry blossoms are so pretty,there’s a lot of foods you can choose to enjoy while watching the cherry blossom,

i must say i'LL Definitely ComeBAck again ☺️ the parking is free and the sakura is so beautiful and it has playground too the kids will have fun.. recommendable

Every year they held a Hanami Festival where they celebrate the beautiful Cherry Blossoms around the Park. We go there every year with family and friends. The Park is very beautiful in the spring.

So much green and peaceful. And amazing is peacock there. 🦚🦚extra

A beautiful park for a picnic. When I last visited here a month ago the cherry blossoms were blooming. Bring some bread to feed the carp.

The park is beautiful but, it needs some maintenance work from his prefecture.

The place is clean and educational. The staff are friendly and helpful. Here, we can learn about the history of Denso — from its founding, the products it has produced, to the new technologies currently being developed. Visiting the Denso Museum is a great experience

Very nice museum showing the history and inventions of this influential company in the automotive history. I recommend to any visitor!

Upcoming technology's things display here. Needs appointment.

They have an early electric car that is a nice vintage look. The technology is great.

Great visit it has a gallery with a wide screen

An excellent place for Car, Machines, and Technology Enthusiasts

GALAXY!

Free and has parking available. Small museum with limited selection, but in middle of town and has AC.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) June 8, 2025 Last Sunday, my second daughter invited me to go see Leo Lionni and Friends at the Kariya City Museum of Art 😊 Before going, I was embarrassed to ask myself, "Who is Leo Lionni?" When I first heard his name, I didn't really get it, but when I heard he was the author of the picture book "Swimmy," which is also featured in elementary school textbooks, I finally understood 😅 Not only did it feature works such as Swimmy and Frederick, but it also introduced the history of Leo Lionni's picture book creation, making it a wonderful exhibition worth seeing 😊 #LeoLeoni #LeoLeoniAndFriends #LeoLeoniExhibition #Swimmy #Frederick #Museum #KariyaCityArtMuseum (Original) 2025年6月8日 先週の日曜日は次女に誘われて 刈谷市美術館で開催中の レオ・レオーニと仲間 を鑑賞に行って来ました😊 行く前は恥ずかしながら レオ・レオーニって？誰？と 最初に名前を聞いた時は ピーンとこなかったけど 小学校の教科書にも 掲載されている 絵本『スイミー』 の作者と聞いて ようやく理解した😅 スイミーやフレデリック等の 作品の展示だけでなけ レオ・レオーニの絵本づくりの 軌跡も紹介され、見応えのある 素晴らしい展覧会でした😊 #レオレオーニ #レオレオーニと仲間たち #レオレオーニ展 #スイミー #フレデリック #美術館 #刈谷市美術館

(Translated by Google) Next, I went to the "Always Cat" exhibition (*ΦωΦ) You can enjoy cats by many different artists. It was great to learn about the history of cat picture books, from the pre-1900s to the present (*ΦωΦ) Next door, there's a place where you can enjoy matcha tea and sweets. It's open only on weekends and holidays from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM 🍵 It was also great (*ΦωΦ) Then, from Kariya Station, I took Kariya City's community bus, "Karimaru." Currently, it runs for free within the city 🚍💨 Kariya City is amazing, with so many routes! ✨👏 (Original) かたわらにはいつもネコ展に行ってまいりました(*ΦωΦ) 多数の作家さんのネコを楽しむことが出来ます。ネコの絵本が1900年代以前から現代まで歴史も知ることが出来て良かっです(*ΦωΦ) 隣にお抹茶とお菓子が愉しめる場所があります。13:00～15:00まで週末と祝日だけ楽しめます🍵こちらも良かったです(*ΦωΦ) そして刈谷駅からは刈谷市のコミュニティバス『かりまる』を利用しました。今のところ無料で市内を走ります🚍💨路線も多いので刈谷市はすごいぞ✨👏

(Translated by Google) On the side, I always went to the cat exhibition♪ The parking lot had many entrances and exits, was spacious, and easy to park in. It was the middle day of a three-day weekend, but it wasn't crowded and was smooth. The museum was also clean. I used the restroom (Western-style). It felt a little cramped when I sat down, but it was well-cleaned and easy to use. Very unique, cute, playful, and impressive...there were so many artworks and picture books on display, and it was a lot to see! Photography allowed (some not allowed, please note). There was also a space to read picture books (chairs available). You could take your time to pick up and enjoy artwork that caught your eye...it was the best! ✨️✨️ They also had merchandise for sale, and I bought some from my favorite artist. 🤗 I was so excited! I even took advantage of the 100 yen discount on admission by bringing some cat merchandise! It was a wonderful holiday. I spent it relaxing. (Original) かたわらには、いつもネコ展へ行きました♪ 駐車場は出入口も多く、広くてとめやすい 三連休の中日でしたが、混雑もなく、スムーズ 館内も綺麗でした トイレも利用(洋式)座ると若干狭さを感じる…が綺麗に清掃されていて、利用しやすい とても個性的な、かわいい、遊び心のある、迫力満点…たくさんの作品や絵本が展示されていて、見応え満載でした！ 写真撮影可能(一部不可あり、注意) 絵本を読めるスペースもあり(椅子あり) 気になる作品を手に取り、堪能出来る時間ももてる…最高です✨️✨️ グッズ販売もあり、気に入った作家さんを購入しました🤗 テンション上がりましたー！ 猫グッズ持参で、入場料100円引もちゃっかり利用！ とても良い休日でした のんびり過ごせました

(Translated by Google) An art museum located adjacent to the Kariya City Central Library. On this day, a Leo Lionni exhibition was being held. Although Leoni is not that popular in Japan, he is a popular picture book author known for his cute mouse pictures. This time, in addition to picture books, various works by illustrators were introduced. The unique color scheme and sense of character are attractive. Since it's the holidays, the hall is crowded with parents and children. The museum shop was also crowded with people. (Original) 刈谷市中央図書館に隣接して建つ美術館。この日はレオ・レオーニ展が開催されていました。 レオーニは日本でそれほどメジャーではないものの、かわいいねずみの絵などで知られる人気の絵本作家です。 今回は絵本以外にも、イラストレーターとしての様々な作品が紹介されていました。 独特の色遣いとキャラクターのセンスが魅力的ですね。 連休中とあって、館内は親子連れなどで大にぎわい。ミュージアムショップも人だかりができていました。

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit and I saw the "Cats Always Beside Me" exhibition. It's a short 10-minute walk from the south exit of the station, but the directions are easy. The exhibits on both the first and second floors were well worth seeing and I enjoyed them. For 300 yen, I enjoyed matcha tea and sweets while looking out at the garden in the teahouse in the building next door. This was also a lovely space. (Original) 初めて訪問し、『かたわらには、いつもネコ展』を鑑賞しました。駅南口から10分弱歩きますが、道順は簡単です。１階と2階の展示は、ともに見応えがあり、楽しめました。隣の建物にあるお茶室で、300円でお抹茶とお菓子をお庭を眺めながらいただきました。こちらも、素敵な空間でした。

A beautiful little shrine near Central Kariya. Lots of reds, pretty little bridges and a lot of care. Try it.

Very nice for a new years visit

Since 1560 nice place.

(Translated by Google) 250330 I came here to explore the outskirts of Aichi. It was well maintained, and the coexistence of the red-colored worship hall and the cherry blossoms was very beautiful. Thank you very much. (Original) 250330愛知近郊探索で来ました。きれいに整備されていて、赤色で映える拝殿と桜の花の共存は何とも美しかったです。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) This shrine, also known as "Ichihara-san," is a famous first shrine visit spot in Kariya. I lived in Kariya for a while, but this was my first time there. It was midday in the middle of the hot summer, but perhaps because it was a Saturday, I saw several other groups of worshippers. They were mostly women and families. Perhaps it's popular among women. The water basin and its warning signs were interesting. Countless wind chimes swayed in the wind, but they weren't loud or clanging, but rather produced a gentle sound. There were several other shrines within the grounds. The water basin and wind chimes were a testament to the shrine's meticulous attention to detail. Worried about parking, I walked from the nearby museum, but there were parking spaces large enough for a reasonable number of cars on both sides of the approach. I also wanted to visit a Japanese set meal restaurant at the entrance to the approach, which has a reputation for its delicious food, but unfortunately, it was closed for the extended summer holidays, so I couldn't stop by. (Original) 刈谷では｢市原さん｣という別名で有名な初詣スポット。刈谷に一時期住んでいましたが、結局訪れたのは初めて。 夏の暑い盛りの日中でしたが土曜日ということもあってか、他にも何組かの参拝者を見掛けました。しかも親子連れか女性ばかり。女性に人気なのでしょうか。手水の演出とその注意書きが面白いですね。無数の風鈴が風になびいていましたが、ガチャガチャうるさいといった感じではなく優しい音色を奏でてくれます。境内には他にも幾つかのお社がありました。手水といい風鈴といい、細やかな演出？が感じられる神社でした。 駐車場を心配して、近くの博物館から徒歩で参拝しましたが参道の左右にそこそこの台数を停められる駐車場がありました。参道入口にある美味しいと評判の和食定食屋さんにも行きたかったのですが、臨時で長期夏季お休み中だったので立ち寄れずに残念でした。

(Translated by Google) There are lots of wind chimes, and the sight and sound really give off a summer vibe. I love the atmosphere. 😊 There's plenty of parking right in front of the shrine. The road in front is a bit narrow. Since I went on a weekday afternoon, there weren't many people there. (Original) 風鈴がたくさんあって見た目も音も夏を感じられます。雰囲気がとても好きです😊 駐車場は神社目の前に割とたくさんあります。目の前の道はやや狭め。平日昼過ぎに行ったせいか人はいませんでした。

(Translated by Google) I didn't know there was a wind chime shrine nearby. It happened to be the day of the Manto Festival, and I overheard someone who had come to pray say, "It seems like there are more wind chime shelves this year." There were lots of wind chimes, but the sound was pleasant without being too loud. (Original) 近くに風鈴神社があったとは知りませんでした。ちょうど万燈祭りの日で、お参りしにきた人が「風鈴棚が今年増えたらしい」というのを耳にしました。 風鈴の音はたくさんあってもうるさくなく心地よいものでした。

(Translated by Google) The information center is on the first floor of the Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center. If you are coming by car, there is an Aioi parking lot next door. The large information center has many souvenirs from Kariya City and Katsunari-kun goods. It's spacious and you can take a break. There is also a toilet. It's called "Station Tourist Information Center," but since it's a short walk after leaving Kariya Station, "Kariya City Tourist Information Center" would be more appropriate. (Original) 案内所は、刈谷市産業振興センターの１階。 車で来る方は、隣に相生駐車場があります。 広い案内所で、刈谷市のお土産や、かつなりくんグッズも多数。 広くて、休憩もできます。トイレもあり。 "駅前観光案内所"ですが、刈谷駅を出てちょっと歩くので、"刈谷市観光案内所"の方がしっくりくる。

(Translated by Google) When I think of Kariya, I think of him as “Katsunari-kun”. There are various goods. There are also items that are not sold at history museums. can be. The information center has a gentle curve, and if you go all the way to the back, there is a rest area and a restroom. I wonder if Kariya Castle will be restored someday. (Original) 刈谷といったら“かつなりくん”。 グッズ色々あります。 歴史博物館には売っていない商品も あり。 案内所はゆる〜くカーブしていて、奥まで行くと、休憩スペースとか、トイレもあり。 いつかは刈谷城復元とかあるかな。

(Translated by Google) There were also goods from Kariya City and a person named Katsunari Mizuno. There were also goods from the trains used on the Meitetsu Mikawa Line, which were very interesting to look at. It's located inside the Industrial Promotion Center, so please check it out. (Original) 刈谷市のグッズや水野勝成という方のグッズもありました。また、名鉄三河線で使われていた電車のグッズがあり、とても見ていて面白かったです。 産業振興センターの中にありますのでぜひ。

(Translated by Google) There were various pamphlets. There were also chairs to rest on. It seems they also accept rental bicycles. (Original) 色々パンフレットありました。 休憩する椅子も有りました。 レンタサイクルも受付けしてそうです。

(Translated by Google) 21/June visit Distributing tourist information/brochures and manhole cards. We also sell souvenirs, Kariya City mascot character "Katsunari-kun" goods, and manhole cards. I didn't rent one this time, but you can also rent a bicycle. When I thought of Kariya City, I only knew it as an automobile industry, but when I read the pamphlet, I found it interesting to learn that it is a historical place and had ties to the Tenchu-gumi at the end of the Edo period. (Original) 21/6月訪問 観光案内・パンフレットの配布やマンホールカードの配布を行っている 土産物や刈谷市マスコットキャラクター「かつなりくん」グッズ・マンホールカードの販売も行っている 今回は借りなかったがレンタサイクルもある 刈谷市といえば自動車産業という認識しかなかったがパンフレットを読んで歴史ある土地で幕末の天誅組との関わりがあることを知り面白く感じた

(Translated by Google) Visited to get a manhole card. There was no dedicated parking lot at the tourist information center, and I didn't think I could park my car on the street, so I went to the municipal Aioi parking lot next door. 100 yen for 30 minutes. How can I get a free parking ticket when I get a manhole card? When I asked about it, I was told that I needed to purchase more than 1,000 yen. I didn't have anything to buy, so I prepared 100 yen and put my parking ticket at the gate of the parking lot, and was able to leave the parking lot without having to pay. I don't really understand. 2024.04.06 added Thank you for your kind response regarding the parking lot. (Original) マンホールカードを貰いに訪問。車は観光案内所の専用駐車場が無く、路駐出来そうにも無かったので、隣の市営相生駐車場へ。30分100円。マンホールカードを貰った時に、駐車券が無料になるには？と、聞いたら1000以上の買物が必要とのことだった。買う物も無かったので100円を用意し駐車場のゲートに駐車券を入れたら、料金は不要で出庫出来た。なんかよくわからん。 2024.04.06追記 駐車場に対する、ご丁寧なご回答ありがとう御座いました。

Huge park for those who like walking, it's an excellent place, you can also have a barbecue. I hope to return again.:)

Very beautiful cherry blossom nice place for the family and kids, nice for picnics, joggings, you enjoy and relax view of ponds of suhara.

Nice big lake to jog around. Although not much else to see. Sadly the lake also needs a bit of a clean.

Nice park in Kariya city

Walking along the pond is so comfortable and refreshing! It seems absolutely healthy👍

The park nearby th aikyoudai and it has a big lake.

good place for family running barbecue sakura season

Small museum mostly provides workshops, which requires advance signup and get full quickly. Not much exhibitions.

Kariya science museum is quite fun for kids. It offers different science shows has a permanent exhibition about Hayabusa... and some other temporary ones. The museum has a kids play area, a food area where you can eat what you've brought. Nothing except drinks is sold there.

(Translated by Google) It was a facility themed around space and science, and it was full of services for children, such as hands-on practical activities in a room called a lab and a planetarium. In terms of image, I guess it resembles the Handa Sky Science Museum. (Original) 宇宙と科学を題材にした施設でラボと呼ばれる部屋で参加型の実件をやったりプラネタリウムを見れたりお子様向けのサービスが満載でした。 イメージ的には半田 空の科学館に手似るかな。

(Translated by Google) I went to the planetarium with my child. It's a children's facility, so even if your child gets a little fussy, you don't have to worry about disturbing others. There are also seats for parents and children separated by glass. The price of 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for children is also appealing! This year marks the 10th anniversary of the facility, and they're holding various events, so if you have children, why not go and check it out? (Original) 子どもとプラネタリウムに行きました。子ども用の施設なので小さな子供が少しぐずっても周りへの迷惑をあまり気にしなくていいのが魅力です。ガラスで隔離された親子席もあるようです。 大人300円、子ども100円という料金も魅力です！ 今年で10周年を迎えるようで、色々イベントもやっていますので、子育て世代は行ってみてはどうでしょうか？

(Translated by Google) On Sunday afternoon, after visiting the city museum, I stopped by the planetarium. The free parking lot was full, so I parked in the municipal parking lot. Admission is free, and the planetarium is 300 yen for adults. Just as the 1pm episode started, I had to wait for the 2:30pm episode. The exhibition can be viewed and touched for up to 15 minutes. There seem to be a variety of hands-on events, but of course they are aimed at elementary school students. I looked at the happy children and read astronomy magazines and books as I waited. Now, it's planetarium time. The program was 45 minutes in total, and the first half consisted of Kariya City's current starry sky (according to commentators), and the second half was an introductory astronomy program for children. Recently, they've been sharing programs created at planetariums across the country! Although the content was easy, it was a program that gave me a good sense of energy. The evening show seems to be more suitable for adults. I think this is a facility that children around 4 or 5 years old can enjoy. (Original) 日曜の午後、市美術館訪問のついでですが、プラネタリウムを観に寄ってみました。 無料駐車場は満車で、市営駐車場へ停めました。 入館は無料、プラネタリウムは大人300円です。 丁度13時の回が始まったところで、14:30の回待ちになりました。 展示は丁寧に観て触っても15分まで。 体験イベントは色々あるようですが、もちろん小学生まで対象のもの。 楽しそうなお子さんたちを楽しそうに眺めたり、天文雑誌・書籍を読んだりして待ちました。 さて、プラネタリウムの時間です。 全体45分あり、前半は刈谷市の今の星空(解説員による)、後半はお子さん用の天文入門番組でした。最近は全国のプラネタリウムで作った番組を共有しているんですね！ 内容は易しいですが、良い熱量を感じる番組でした。 夕方の回は比較的大人向きのようです。 4・5歳くらいのお子さんから楽しめる施設だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way to Kariya Traffic Park. I recommend it because you can cool off and try out a variety of activities. If it gets too hot in the park, you can play here while cooling off. Events have a limit on the number of people allowed, so I stopped by before going to the park, made a reservation, and played in the park until the event time. I gave it one less star because I think it would have been better if there was a space where people could eat and drink inside. (Original) 刈谷の交通公園に 行ったついでに寄りました。 涼みながら、色んな体験ができるのが、おすすめです。 公園で暑くなったら、 涼みながら遊べます。 イベントは人数制限があるので、 公園に行く前に寄って、予約してから 、その時間まで公園で遊びました。 星1つ少ないのは、中で飲食ができるスペースがあるとなおいいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) At the science museum, you can do crafts for free to about 50 yen. At the amusement park, you can ride go-karts and roller coasters for 50 yen. Highly recommended for families with small children as the cost performance is too high. In addition, trams and steam locomotives are placed in the square. There is a nursing room. Parking is free if the parking lot opposite the facility is empty. (Original) 科学館では無料〜50円ほどで工作ができる。遊園地側では、ゴーカートやジェットコースターが50円で乗れる。小さな子供を連れた家族にはコスパが高すぎて本当におすすめです。その他、路面電車や蒸気機関車が広場に置かれています。 授乳室あります。駐車場は施設向かいが空いていれば無料で駐めれます。

(Translated by Google) It is said to have a long history and venerable history, having been founded between 701 and 704. It seems to be a shrine that is a merger of three shrines that enshrine Hachiman-sha (Honda Beszon), Yakumo-sha (Gozu Tenno → Susanoo-no-Mikoto), and Kitano-sha (Sugawara no Michizane). In the precincts, there is a night light with a golden name dating back to 1885 (Meiji 18), and there is a sacred tree that is estimated to be 300 years old, so I felt it was a healing spot. Also, shell middens and ruins were excavated on March 17, 1967, and some of them are designated as prefectural cultural properties. You can feel the history from this as well.Also, depending on the shrine you visit, there are statues of gods instead of guardian dogs, which I thought was unusual. Although no one was there and I wasn't able to receive a stamp, I felt that the breeze was pleasant and the shrine was well-maintained and loved by the locals. (Original) 701～704年に創建された歴史&由緒あると言う事です。八幡社(誉田　別尊)八雲社(牛頭天王→須佐之男命)北野社(菅原道真)を祀った3社が合併した神社らしいです。境内には1885年(明治18)の金名を持つ常夜灯があったり、推定300年の御神木があったり癒されるスポットだと感じました。また1967.3.17には貝塚や遺跡も出土した様で一部は県の文化財になっていたりするんですって。この事からも歴史を感じますよね～又、参拝する社によって狛犬じゃなく神像があったりして珍しく思う所も有りました。何方もおられず御朱印は頂けませんでしたが、そよ風が気持ち良く、綺麗に整備され地域の方に愛されている神社だと感じました。

(Translated by Google) Although it was a holiday, there were not many people and it was peaceful. The goshuin was written down. The facility is very clean and there was a calligraphy exhibition on that day. Even though they seemed busy before Setsubun, they responded politely. (Original) 休日でしたが人もすくなく穏やかに過ごせました。 御朱印は書き置きでした。 施設が大変綺麗でこの日は書道展をやっていました。 節分前で忙しそうにもかかわらず、丁寧に対応してくださいました。

(Translated by Google) A certain date in 2022 visitor Parking lot behind the shrine I was looking at it from the road... Red seals, amulets, etc. There was a company office, but it was a public holiday. Too bad there are no people!! ️ (Original) 2022年某日付 来者 神社の裏側駐車場は 道より眺めてた､､､ 朱印や御守りなど 社務所は有りましたが祝日なのに 人がいなく　残念‼️

(Translated by Google) There is also a toilet. It's beautiful, so I had a peaceful and relaxing time🙏 There are also several parking spaces. I want to go again✨ (Original) トイレもあります。きれいなので、穏やかにまったり過ごせました🙏 駐車スペースも何台かあります。 また行きたいです✨

(Translated by Google) I was grateful that I could pray in peace. It was a shame that I couldn't use the stylish washbasin at the entrance to the toilet. There is a washbasin inside, but I can't help but notice it. Use it carefully. (Original) 落ち着いてお参りしていけるのでありがたかったです。トイレの入り口にある洒落た洗面器が使えなかったのが惜しかったです。内部にも洗面器はありますがどうしても気になってしまうのです。大切に使おう。

(Translated by Google) It is a small shrine that looks like a park in the city. (Original) 街中の公園のような小さな神社です。

(Translated by Google) I was able to worship the bronze statue of Michizane Sugawara. This year of the Ox, I hope that I can pray to the god of academic studies. (Original) 菅原道真縁の銅像を拝むことができました。丑年の今年、学業の神様にあやかることができるようのぞみたいと思います。

Big restaurant area connected to Kariya PA offering multitude of food options that includes Pizza at Presto Salvatore Cuomo

The food was amazing! I got udon and it was really good. And the bathrooms were so clean, nice, organized, and HUGE. If you’re nearby, definitely visit this place.

Excellent rest area if you go to the right of the Ferris wheel. The left is a bit rundown. Right side is one of the nicer rest areas in Japan.

Lots of food choices, omiyage shopping, kid activities. Well kept and nice toilets!

An unusual service area that has plenty of restaurants, a doll houses permanent exhibition, a bath house, a ferris wheel and an attraction park with rides as cheap as a 100 yen per ride. In winter you can enjoy beatiful winter lights. Worth stoppig by for sure.

A must stop service area if your in the area. Many choices of foods to eat are here. Also place to bring the family because they have a small theme park as well! Totally reccomend.

The pedestrian bridge is rainbow colored! It was fun on the Ferris wheel!

Free and has parking available. Small museum with limited selection, but in middle of town and has AC.

(Original) 刈谷市中央図書館に隣接して建つ美術館。この日はレオ・レオーニ展が開催されていました。 レオーニは日本でそれほどメジャーではないものの、かわいいねずみの絵などで知られる人気の絵本作家です。 今回は絵本以外にも、イラストレーターとしての様々な作品が紹介されていました。 独特の色遣いとキャラクターのセンスが魅力的ですね。 連休中とあって、館内は親子連れなどで大にぎわい。ミュージアムショップも人だかりができていました。

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit and I saw the "Cats Always Beside Me" exhibition. It's a short 10-minute walk from the south exit of the station, but the directions are easy. The exhibits on both the first and second floors were well worth seeing and I enjoyed them. For 300 yen, I enjoyed matcha tea and sweets while looking out at the garden in the teahouse in the building next door. This was also a lovely space. (Original) 初めて訪問し、『かたわらには、いつもネコ展』を鑑賞しました。駅南口から10分弱歩きますが、道順は簡単です。１階と2階の展示は、ともに見応えがあり、楽しめました。隣の建物にあるお茶室で、300円でお抹茶とお菓子をお庭を眺めながらいただきました。こちらも、素敵な空間でした。

funny thing about this place is they asked me to wear swimming cap inside the pool area eventhough im not going to swim..but those lifeguards were not also wearing swimming caps inside the pool area🤔🤔

Show

(Translated by Google) Adult 500 yen If you just swim on the course Wing Arena pool 400 yen is cheaper However, it's closed on Wednesdays, so use this place. There was also a course pool, free area, and walking course. 2024.7.31 Wednesday 9:00 AM The course is so crowded that it feels like 3 people are swimming together. It's nice to have a lazy river, slider, and qua corner. Put your shoes in a plastic bag and put them in your locker. The shower is a push type shower that only takes a few seconds to come out when you press it, so it's not easy to use. Vending machines have pastries and ice cream. Mineral water was sold for 100 yen at the reception because one unit was out of order (2024.7.31) (Original) 大人500円 コースで泳ぐだけなら ウイングアリーナのプール400円の方が安い でも、水曜休みなので　こちらを利用 コースプールも　フリーエリア、歩行コースもありました 2024.7.31水曜　9時台　コースで3人で泳ぐ感じの混み具合 流れるプール、スライダー、クアコーナー（ジュワジュワ）もあって　いいね 靴は、ビニール袋に入れてロッカーへ シャワーが　プッシュ式で　押して　数秒しか出ないので　使い勝手悪いです 自販機は、菓子パンとかアイスクリームあり 1台故障で受付で　ミネラルウォーター100円で販売でした（2024.7.31）

(Translated by Google) You can play in the pool for 500 yen. If it's not a long holiday, there aren't that many people and you can exercise in a relaxed manner. It is recommended after the evening, when there are fewer people. There's a lot of hair in the aisles, so I want them to be cleaned by running water. (Original) 500円でプールで遊べます。連休でなければそれ程人も多くなくゆったりと運動できます。夕方以降は人が少なくなり、オススメです。通路は毛が多く落ちているので水を流して綺麗にして欲しい。

(Translated by Google) Admission is restricted due to the coronavirus, and the place where a swim cap is required was empty, probably because it's unpopular. I went to enter at 12:00, but I was able to get a numbered ticket at the last minute. However, although there is no temperature check upon entry, you must write your name, phone number, address (to town), age, and name and age of your companion on a form and hand it over. Admission takes time because of the time it takes to write and check. My younger child is 5 years old, but is he a toddler? (Did it look big?) I was asked, and do you know how old elementary school students are? He said. Maybe it's because infants and toddlers are free, but it takes a lot of time, and do you think I'm lying when I'm being honest? I felt bad. There are many types of jacuzzi, but the floor inside is rough. You can't use the jacuzzi even during breaks. There are no height restrictions on the slides, so my younger kids will also enjoy it, so I like this pool, but I always end up peeling off my toes lol. 2023.10 2nd time It was quite different from last time. I didn't have to write down my address etc. Since it's not summer, I used the jacuzzi during my breaks. And the slider, which didn't have a height restriction last time, now has a height restriction of 120cm or more, making it impossible for younger children to slide... Also, I was warned at the entrance that the string of the float was not allowed... (Original) コロナで入場制限してるし、スイムキャップ必須のらところは不人気なのか空いていた。 12時入場で行ったが整理券もギリギリでも大丈夫。 ただ、入場時に検温はないのに、用紙に氏名・電話番号・住所(町まで)・年齢・同伴者の氏名年齢を書いて渡さなければならない。 その書く時間や、チェックで入場は時間がかかる。 下の子は5歳なのだが、幼児ですか？(見た目大きく見えたのか)と聞かれ、小学生って何歳からか知ってます？って言った。乳幼児が無料だからかもしれないが、そういうのも時間がかかるし、正直に書いてるのに嘘書いてると思ってるの？と嫌な気持ちになった。 ジャグジーが種類豊富だが中の床がザラザラ。 ジャグジーも休憩中も入れない。 スライダーも身長制限がないので下の子も喜ぶので、このプール好きですが必ず私は足の指の皮めくれます笑 2023.10 2回目 前回とかなり変わってた 住所など書かなくてもよかった 夏じゃないからか休憩時間もジャグジーは入れた。 そして前回は身長制限なかったスライダーも120cm以上の制限になってて下の子は滑れなくなっていた… あと浮き輪の紐がNGのようで入り口で注意されました…

(Translated by Google) public pool. There is a running water pool, competition lanes, two slides, a round pool for toddlers, and a heated area called Kur Corner. I am very grateful that they have set up an area where even children who cannot wean themselves from diapers can enter under the condition that they wear diapers for the pool. Also, the Seventeen Ice cream you eat after getting out of the pool is really delicious. (Original) 市民プール。流水プールや競技用レーン、すべり台二本、幼児用の丸形プール、クアコーナーという温水エリアがあります。おむつ離れできていない子でもプール用おむつ着用条件で入れるエリアを設けて頂けているのでとてもありがたいです。またプールあがりに食べるセブンティーンアイスはやはり格別のおいしさです。

(Translated by Google) It's a training gym, but there are too many old men with bad manners. -Do not wipe the machine after use ·gun! let go with a loud noise -Do not return the weight to its original position ・Do monopoly on the machine for a long time with partial reps There seems to be a noisy lifeguard at the pool, but the gym is a lawless zone. I want you to do something (Original) トレーニングジムですがマナーの悪いおっさんが多すぎ ・使用後マシンを拭かない ・ガン！と大きい音を立てて離す ・重りを元に戻さない ・パーシャルレップで長時間マシン独占 プールの方は口うるさい監視員がいるみたいだけどジムは逆に無法地帯状態。なんとかしてほしい

Deeply connected with the Shogun family heritage. It used to serve and handle the general's family Buddha affairs.

Serene. Empowering. Beautiful. My limited vocabulary cannot explain the experience of visiting this shrine on an empty weekday afternoon. The entrance is obviously grand, and inviting in its own special way. The big Buddha statue does not disappoint. The forest and paths around the temple are absolutely worth the dérive - you easily lose time, especially if your phone’s switched off because you don’t plan day trips well (: Do walk around the estate and find labelled paths around the monastery area, ritualistic spaces, the eating buddhas, the woods, and the running track.

This temple is very historic, beautiful and clean. The peacefulness of this location is really amazing. It's hard to believe that this temple is in the middle of a busy city. There is a little forest reserve which you have to cross to get to the temple and this walk is very beautiful. If you are visiting Nagoya, especially the Yagoto area, this is a must visit place.

It's a nice temple in Yagoto. Very calm and peaceful place. The temple garden is very big and it's a great place to spend some time. There is also an escalator to go uphill. There are some souvenir shops as well. It's very close to the Yagoto station. When you exit from exit 1 of subway, it's only a 100 m walk.

It is a Buddhist Temple which opens its worship hall and allows worshippers and visitors for worship and other religious practices inside the hall. Such an open-door policy is rather rare for the temples or shrines in Japan. Visitors can walk around the courtyard to enjoy pagoda, center Buddha statue and other various statues in the courtyard. The Temple has escalator for visitors who want to visit the bury/ the tomb worship area.

Very great Temple complex. It was bigger than I thought. There is also a path you can walk. You do have to be carefull when it rains since the path can be slippery. Nevertheless I would recommend making a quick viqit. It's free and very beautiful

Beautiful and peaceful place in Yagoto, must visit when you go to Nagoya city. It’s nearly Yagoto station, just take a few minutes walking to there. The temple have a park save the forest inside the city so quite and fresh 🌸❤️

(Translated by Google) There are 5 tennis courts and an omni court. Night game facilities available. It's a beautiful coat, but there's not much sand. Are drinks only available inside the building? There may not be enough parking space for the facility. (Original) テニスコートは5面、オムニコート。 ナイター設備あり。 綺麗なコートだけど砂が少なめ。 ドリンクは建物内しかないのかな？ 設備に対して駐車場が少ないかも。

(Translated by Google) We have a large gymnasium and tennis courts, but it is difficult to make reservations. (Original) 広い体育館、テニスコートも充実してますが、なかなか予約が取れません。

(Translated by Google) I happened to go see them and they were playing volleyball. (Original) たまたま見に行ったらバレーやってました。

(Translated by Google) The usage fee varies depending on whether you make a reservation on the same day or another day, but I don't think I will come here anymore because they charge too much compared to other gymnasiums. Sorry for the long post. (Original) 当日予約と別日予約で使用料金が変わるのですが他の体育館と比べて高すぎる額を請求してくるのでこれからは来ないと思います。長文失礼しました。

(Translated by Google) I use it once a week❗The grass is well taken care of and the toilet is also kept clean. However, it's starting to get a little old, so I guess that can't be helped. The parking lot tends to fill up quickly, so please consider the end time of the event to ensure a smooth change of cars. (Original) 週一使っています❗草もわりと手入れしてあるし、トイレもきれいにしてくれています。 ただ、少し古くなりだしたです、その感じは仕方ないかな。 駐車場が、すぐにいっぱいになりやすいので、催しの終了時間を考えて、車の交代がスムーズにいくようにしてほしい。

(Translated by Google) A uniquely designed gymnasium. Parking is a little limited, but the open atmosphere means no particular inconvenience. Convenience store is also nearby. (Original) 独特な作りの体育館。駐車場が少し少ないがオープンな雰囲気で特に不便はありません。コンビニも近い。

(Translated by Google) There is ample parking (about 5-60 cars?) It doesn't have to be far away. (Original) 駐車場しっかりあり(5～60台程度？)距離も離れてなくて良

Loved Kariya! The people are even wholesome. Willing to help and talk to you. Kariya plays well and their fans know how to cheer!

Great place to jog, have some outside activities and even picnics

(Translated by Google) It's a local stadium! It's just normal I went to watch the Toyota Industries rugby team for the first time. The atmosphere was great and the cheers showed the love for the company that only a corporate team can provide. Also, there were more food trucks and other stalls than I expected, so it was a lot of fun. I went by train and bus, and it was great! The parking lot was already full, so we recommend coming and going by public transportation. It was unavoidable because we had lawn seats, but I was able to feel more immersive than I expected, which was great! Next time I would like to watch it from the audience seats! The weather was good and it was a great day for watching games. Also, Cool Poko (manzai) was coming and it was a lot of fun! (Original) ざ、地域の競技場ですね！ まさに普通です 豊田自動織機のラグビーチームを観戦に初めて行きました 企業チームならではの会社愛を感じる声援と、雰囲気が良かったです また、思ったよりもキッチンカーなどたくさん出店していて盛り上がっていました 電車とバスにて行きましたが、良かったです！駐車場は既に満車の状態だったので、公共交通機関での行き来をお勧めします 芝生席だったので、やむを得ませんが、充分思ったよりも臨場感を感じることができ、良かったです！ 次回は観客席から見てみたいものです！ 気候も良く、とても良い観戦日和でした また、クールポコ（漫才）がきており、盛り上がっていました！

(Translated by Google) I visited to watch a Tokai Amateur Soccer League match. The stadium was originally used for JFL matches (JFL matches were no longer held there because the team that used it was relegated), so it was a more than comfortable environment for watching regional league matches. The spectator seats are chair-type, and there is a colored electronic scoreboard. As it is an athletics stadium, it can't be helped that it is a distance from the pitch. Looking at the athletics track, there is a recess for the water moat for the 3000m hurdles, so it is a fine facility after all. However, the transportation access is poor. The nearest station is a 20-30 minute walk (depending on the walking pace) through a residential area. If the event is over during the day, it's fine, but for night games, the access makes it a pain to get home. (Original) 東海社会人サッカーリーグの試合観戦のため訪問。元々JFLの試合でも使われていた（利用チームが降格したためJFLの開催がなくなった）競技場なので、地域リーグの試合を観るには快適すぎるくらいの観戦環境。 観客席も椅子型ですし、カラーの電光掲示板もありますし。 陸上競技場なので、ピッチとの距離があるのは仕方なし。陸上トラックを見ると、3000m障害の水濠用の凹みもあり、やっぱり施設としては立派な物だと。 ただ、交通アクセスが悪い。最寄り駅が住宅街を20〜30分（歩く人のペース次第）歩かないといけない。日中に終る競技ならともかく、ナイターの試合は、帰りが億劫になるアクセスです。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful athletics stadium. It is available for personal use for 200 yen. I think the changing rooms, toilets, lockers, etc. are kept clean. The one lane that often wears out is also clean. (Original) 綺麗な陸上競技場です。200円で個人利用できます。 更衣室、トイレ、ロッカーなども綺麗にされていて良いと思います。 よく消耗してしまう1レーンも綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) In the 2024-2025 season, it will be the home ground of Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi, a division 2 member of NTT Japan Rugby League One. Against Kyushu Electric Power Kyuden Vortex Official supporters SKE48 will also be visiting. I came on an expedition. Because Aichi is a private car kingdom, Quite far from the nearest station Public transportation is quite difficult. On the day of the match From the north exit of JR & Meitetsu Kariya Station, A free shuttle bus is provided No stress, I was able to visit. (Also on the way home) Not a stadium dedicated to ball games There is an athletics track, Because the angle of the audience seats is gentle, For watching rugby (or soccer) Although it can be said that it is a little harsh Hospitality as a club Stadium gourmet etc. It was a passing score. (Original) 2024-2025シーズンは、NTTジャパンラグビーリーグワンのDiv.2所属の豊田自動織機シャトルズ愛知 のホームグラウンド。 九州電力キューデンヴォルテクス戦に オフィシャルサポーターのSKE48も訪れるということで、 遠征に来てしまいました。 自家用車王国愛知ゆえ、 最寄り駅からけっこう遠く、 公共交通の便はなかなか厳しいのですが 仕合開催日には JR＆名鉄の刈谷駅の北口から、 無料のシャトルバスが設定されており なんのストレスもなく、 訪れることができました。（帰りも） 球技専用スタジアムではなく 陸上トラックがあり、 観客席の角度もゆるいゆえ、 ラグビー（やサッカー）観戦には やや厳しいとも言えますが クラブとしてのホスピタリティや スタジアムグルメなど 及第点でした。

(Translated by Google) This was my first time coming for a Shuttles home game. 1000 yen for non-reserved seating on the lawn. You can enjoy the view in a relaxed manner, but the drawbacks are that the viewpoint is low and the grounds are far away. (Original) シャトルズのホームゲームで初めて来ました。 芝生自由席で１０００円。 ゆったり見られますが視点が低いのとグランドが遠いのが難点です。
