Hanyu Suigo Park

Great park for families at the Saitama Aquarium

Hanyu Suigo Park as its called on Google Maps is a riverside (suigo) park in Hanyu City in Saitama close to the border of Gunma Prefecture. It is a medium sized park best known for being the home of the Saitama Aquarium. But the park itself has a few other things to do too. You can hire out a canoe or small boat and rent bicycles for three seasons of the year. The boat activities are closed during winter. There is a really great playground with lots of different equipment. And there are pretty seasonal blooms. The park is beside Kiyasse, which also has attractions for families. Combining the three (aquarium, Hanyu Riverside park and Kiyasse) can make a fun family day out. The park is located close to the Hanyu Interchange of the Tohoku Expressway. By public transport there are buses that go from Hanyu Station.
