Shikinomori Kouen

Last Monday, we headed to Shikinomori Kouen (Park). It's in Yokohama, so not that far from us. Only 7 stations away, with 1 transfer. After getting lost twice, stopping for lunch at Old McDonald's, and having a great 2 hour hike through the mountains, we finally found the park. There's a nice pond at the entrance.

But what we really came for was the giant slide! It's over 100 yards long, and covered in rollers, so you can go really fast. There are about 5 points where it levels off, to slow you down. We didn't get the memo to bring the cardboard (to use as a sled), but we went pretty fast anyway. It took Adam about 1 1/2 minutes to get down, but some kids were hightailing it in 30 seconds.


Even Lottie went, but we're not sure how much she liked it.
