Mentai Park

Mentai Park

MUSEUM

Mentai Park is a free mentaiko (fish egg) theme park located near the Kannami roadside station. Inside you can browse the store and restaurant selling various kinds of mentaiko goods, as well as enjoy mentaiko themed exhibits (Japanese only), games, and even a children’s play area upstairs! There are also footbaths outside which face Mt. Fuji and give you an amazing view on a clear day.

Mentai Park has a large car park and it can get crowded very quickly on holidays/weekends due to it being a popular place to visit for families.

Review

Mentai Park is a fun place to visit with friends and family. I have taken many of my friends here when they visit us from overseas and they loved it! There are a few hands-on exhibits on the first floor, with a play area on the second. It’s not very big so you could easily walk around in 30 minutes (longer if you have children who want to play), although the roadside station (Michi no Eki) and Wasabi Museum is close by so you could combine all three in one trip!

It can be difficult to get to without a car so I wouldn’t recommend trying to get here unless there are other things in the area you want to see.
