This amusement park stretches from Nara-cho, Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, to Miwa-cho, Machida, Tokyo. It was built under the management of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) with donations collected from around the country to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Tsugunomiya (now Emperor Akihito), and opened in 1965 (Showa 40). It boasts a vast site area of ​​about 1 million square meters within the Tama Hills. Taking advantage of the hilly terrain and natural forests, it has created a freedom plaza, a ranch, a swimming pool, a skating rink, a lake, a children's park, a children's zoo, a cycling course, and more, aiming to promote recreation and education. To get there, take the Tokyu Dentetsu Kodomo-no-Kuni Line from Nagatsuta Station, or take a bus from Odakyu Dentetsu Tsurukawa Station.
