Utsunomiya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Otani Museum, this is a name that sounds a bit boring. But he is very popular in Japan, and movies, popular band MVs, small concerts, high-end press conferences for international brands, etc., will choose here. This is actually a magical unnatural cave. This was originally a quarry. Since 1919, local people have discovered from a hole that the stone is rich in resources and good in texture. It is suitable for reprocessing and began to dig. It is said that the underground mining site has an area of about 20,000 square meters. The deepest place is 60 meters. There are more than 200 similar quarries in the vicinity, the size may be different, and now they are basically abandoned and flooded by mountains and rivers. From the data, it is also possible to hold a wedding here! However, according to the curator's introduction, it is a pity that it is difficult for foreigners to make an appointment for such a wedding ceremony.

In the summer, the temperature inside the grotto is much lower than the outdoor, and the moisture inside the cave can often see this smog. Hey, this smoke is really bad, I dont have a tripod, I will watch it. The scene will be spectacular.

Hachiman-yama Park

#thingstodo Great play area hidden in the mountains. A place only locals know. Quite old, but still filly functioning. They also have a go-cart track that goes around the mountain and a great waterpark. One of the few nice parks in Utsunomiya. Easy to access by car and bike. Close to Buddhist Temple with huge graveyard. Amazing expecially during spring season. Good for families with kids, there is a amusement park and activities for kids.

Hachimanyama Park Adventure Bridge

#2024wish It's a pretty big bridge. The view of Utsunomiya from the Adventure Bridge is vast and wonderful. The bridge itself is solid, so it's not particularly scary to shake a lot. I'm excited with that girl I like because of the suspension bridge effect... There may not be anything like that lol There is a big pond below and you can see it. I wish to travel more in 2024

Free entrance for adult and children., they have 1 day pass for unlimited rides. #Tochinokifamilyland #TochigiKen

Suijyou Park

#thingstodo This is a new park that opened on August 12, 2021. Parking and bicycle parking available. However, be careful as it is often full during the daytime on holidays. In addition to the regular men's and women's restrooms, there were also multi-purpose restrooms. Of course, drinking water and hand washing facilities are also available. The play equipment is modern and children will be excited just by looking at it. It looks out over the park and is very good for crime prevention. On the other hand, there is less shade. There are several locations with covered tables and chairs. Even though it is a water park, the fountain hours are limited, so it is essential to take precautions against heatstroke. There were a lot of things that looked like health promotion equipment for adults. This is a park that is designed for people of all ages.

Mizuhonoshizennomori Park

#thingstodo There is a medium-sized complex playground equipment, and there is also wooden playground equipment a little further away. There is also a grassy area, but the most popular activity in the summer is playing in the water. The long waterway has a place to hang out and is a big hit with children. There is no place to change clothes, so if you are concerned about it, it is convenient to have a one-touch tent. There is a management office, toilets, and vending machines that are well maintained. Please check the website for details on the BBQ facilities and water flushing dates and times.
