Shirata River Water Park

Shirata River Water Park

PARK

A small park created in front of Shirata Station to give the locals a place to relax and heal. Higashi Izu is full of amazing nature and hot springs so after a day of exploring, why not relax at this small park? Or you can even take a picnic there and relax with your family.

There is no specified parking for the park, however there is a nearby convenience store where you can park for a short time (make sure you buy something from the store).

Review

Shirata River Water Park is a very small man-made park situated near to the station. There is a small pond with bridges and lanterns decorating the area. I wouldn’t recommend driving all the way just for this as it is pretty small and will only take around a minute to walk around it. However if you’re in the area and would like somewhere to relax, maybe even eat a picnic, then drop by here and enjoy the scenery.

If you visit during cherry blossom season then you can also walk nearby to the train tracks and see the cherry blossoms. I definitely recommend coming here to take pictures if you’re a train enthusiast!
