Kodomo no Kuni
Kodomo no Kuni ("Children's Land") is a small retro amusement park located in Hakodate Park, dating back to 1956. Its most famous attraction is the 1950 Ferris wheel: it is considered Japan's oldest surviving Ferris wheel and has been registered as a Tangible Cultural Property since 2019. Additionally, there are a handful of simple rides for smaller children, which are paid for individually. The park primarily offers nostalgic charm and can be easily combined with a stroll through Hakodate Park. It's best to check current opening hours and seasonality beforehand, as operations may be restricted in winter.
