About
In the hilly region of Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, there is a vast nature-experience theme park that recreates the rural landscapes of Germany. Covering an area approximately 19 times the size of Tokyo Dome, the beautiful park, where seasonal flowers bloom in profusion, never fails to captivate its visitors.
In spring, 70,000 moss phlox plants turn the entire area pink, creating a scene like a carpet of flowers. In early summer, lavender and hydrangeas sway in the cool breeze, filling the air with their sweet fragrance. At the height of summer, sunflowers bloom energetically facing the sun, while in autumn, marigolds and kochia color the hills with their vivid hues. In winter, a magical light festival, selected as one of the top three illuminations in the Kanto region, is held, and the park is lit up with countless LED bulbs, inviting visitors into a dreamlike world.
The park is divided into four areas: the Lake Area, Country Area, Market Area, and Park Area. In the Lake Area, there is a rose garden and a boating pond, where seasonal flowers welcome visitors. The Country Area features a vast lawn square, a Ferris wheel, and a putting golf course, allowing families and friends to spend a relaxing time together. In the Market Area, there is a Marktplatz that recreates traditional German architecture, where visitors can enjoy German cuisine, beer, wine, and sweets. The Park Area includes an amusement area with about 20 attractions such as a mini coaster, as well as a children's zoo where visitors can interact with animals, making it enjoyable for both adults and children.
Additionally, various seasonal harvesting experiences can be enjoyed within the park. In spring, you can dig potatoes; in summer, pick blueberries; in autumn, dig sweet potatoes and peanuts; and in winter, harvest mandarins and shiitake mushrooms, experiencing the joy of picking seasonal delicacies with your own hands.
This place was created by a founder who was enchanted by the rural landscapes of Germany and wanted to recreate their beauty in Japan. For this reason, German culture and scenery can be felt throughout the park, allowing visitors to experience an exotic atmosphere.
The vast grounds can be toured by private car, making it easy to move between areas. Together with family or friends, you can fully enjoy the seasonal nature, attractions, and gourmet food, creating unforgettable memories.
This place continues to be loved by many as a space where people and nature coexist. Each visit offers new discoveries and excitement, making it a place full of charm.
