Hachinohe Children's Park
Located next to a botanical park, Hachinohe Children’s Park (also referred to as Hachinoe's Children's Land) is a small outdoor amusement centre on the outskirts of downtown Hachinohe (about 45 minutes south of Misawa). It features kiddie rides, playgrounds, and a petting zoo. Admission to the park and children’s land is free, but tickets need to be purchased for the rides. Some snacks for sale include yakisoba, ice-cream, corndogs, etc. Children’s Land is open every day from April 1 to November 1 between 09:00 and 16:00, except Mondays and Japanese public holidays. Prices for rides current as of May 2010.
