I've come to this park twice before this, but never noticed that just a little way up the hill, a playground waited to be explored. The interesting thing was that adjacent to the playground was a tiny buddhist temple, surrounded by japanese shrines. There is even a Tori gate in the back.
Read more...The slide was pretty massive and rather than just solid metal to peel the skin off of kid's legs, this monster uses rollers.
At the top, there were ropes on pulls that you could ride on. It was basically a lousy zip line. So Chris dances.
The town of Kuchinotsu is quite of proud of this bridge to nowhere. It does lead to the park, but just seems silly. The bridge uncomfortably accommodates one car at a time. If you meet another confused person on the bridge. You might meet their eyes and discover they are looking quizzically at you. Why go this way? Hey, its pretty, I shoot back with thought bullets.
Chris shows me how to slide down "Buddha's Tongue". I don't know if thats the official name, but it should be.
As I roll down this enlightened slide, my butt starts to feel very hot and itchy. The rollers are pretty horrible.
The ferry passes.
I can't wait until summer. More fun to be had at this place.

I've seen those roller slides before, and my kids said the same thing about the bumps. Nothing like a freshly waxed, smooth slide at a park for fun. It's even more fun if there's a pool of mud at the bottom. Ah yes, good times. Hopefully spring is coming soon and you'll have some gorgeous weather. Stay safe! -- Love, Aunt Denise
That's a nice park, Paul. I wish our town invested in parks like where you are. And the scenery is very beautiful. Hey try to include pictures of you more! Otherwise I'm thinking you sent someone there with a camera! Love ya, Uncle Joey
