Mushroom Forest
A theme park featuring mushrooms, the local specialty. The iconic Mushroom Tower offers a refreshing breeze and panoramic views of nature from its 30-meter-high observation deck, reached via a glass-walled elevator.
The park features expansive lawn areas, a 460-meter-long giant slide, and an artificial turf sledding slope—plenty of play equipment to delight children.
Additionally, the Mushroom Knowledge Hall displays rare mushrooms from around the world and offers tours of the local shiitake mushroom cultivation process. Other attractions include pottery-making experiences at the Pottery Hall and mushroom observation and nature walks along Mushroom Road.
