💞Recommended points:
The Dutch windmill Liefde is a particularly noticeable sight even from the train, and seasonal flowers such as tulips🌷 in spring, sunflowers🌻 in summer, and cosmos🌸 in autumn are in full bloom.

The park is surrounded by the prefecture's largest lake, Lake Inban, and beautiful rural scenery, so you can enjoy the natural scenery as well.

There are many flower events, such as the Sakura Tulip Festival🌷, the Windmill Sunflower Garden🌻, and the Sakura Cosmos Festival🌸, and the Sakura City Fireworks Festival🎆.

The park is home to the Dutch windmill Liefde and the Dutch-style management building Saranka,
and has toilets, rest areas, and a shop, as well as bicycle rentals and tourist boat information.

The park is adjacent to the Dutch Garden and Share Garden, where you can enjoy Dutch plants, and Lake Inbanuma, making it a place where you can enjoy nature up close.
