SANUKI AIRPORT PARK
2011年09月30日
Takamatsu is full of big and little surprises, one that a great many people don’t know, is the Sanuki Airport Park and as the name suggests, it’s just a little further from the airport. There’s a lot to do here indeed.

I dropped in there in the summer and took some photos. The first thing I saw was the great grass skiing hill and of course rental skis, stocks are all available.
I saw a couple of people belting down this hill at a very fast clip, then grab a tow line back up to the top. What a great way to spend a summer’s day I thought?
As you can see, the facilities are all pretty good, nothing shabby here. All new and well maintained so it could be a very pleasant afternoon for anyone wanting a bit of speed and exhilaration. There is an attached park nearby too and I’ll return to take a more detailed look at that soon for you. Hopefully I can go in to a bit more detail about the park itself then.
There are a great many parks in the greater Takamatsu area, which I’ll cover in the coming months as well. Some wonderful places in fact; unlike anything else I’ve seen anywhere else.
The Japanese and their love of nature never fail to impress and to loll about watching dragonflies hover around these places in this lovely between summer and winter season … well, nothing beats it.
I’ll try to get to Miroku park to show you just how wonderful this place is, and they have guides on hand to explain the flora, fauna and insect life which is quite fascinating.
Just next to the grass ski area is a synthetic-grass hill for kids to slide down on. I had no reservations in trying this myself and I suggest anyone else regardless of age does too …
I’ll be back soon so keep all those cards n’ letters coming in and if you have any questions, suggestions or comments then please feel free to leave them for me and I’ll get back to you soon.
Till the next time.
