With the opening of Kisei Expressway and National Route 42 Kumano-Owase Road, "Michi-no-eki KihochoUmigamePark" has become easier to access. There was a lot of fun with a sea turtle theme, including being able to interact with sea turtles!
(Interview: March 2018)
This is the base for sea turtle protection and awareness activities in KihoTown where sea turtles come to lay eggs. First, you will be greeted by a stone statue of a sea turtle.
First, let's go to the "Sea Turtle Contact Park". There is a slope leading into the facility, so it is safe for wheelchairs and strollers.
(For the health of sea turtles, quantities are limited, 200 yen each time)
Just like Ryugu Castle!? It's perfect as a photo spot!
Touching a sea turtle for the first time is an exciting experience for both children and adults alike. You can rest assured that the zookeeper will carefully teach you how to handle the animals.
There are also other interesting monthly events held on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, such as the Turtle Race.
Sea turtle touch Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 10:30-12:00
It can be difficult to choose souvenirs such as Hawaiian goods and Kumano Kodo goods.
The second floor can be accessed by stairs or elevator. You can enjoy your meal at the open restaurant overlooking the sea. Children's tableware and children's chairs are also available.
There is a wide variety of menu items, from seafood menus such as whitebait bowl to unique menus with turtle motifs.
I couldn't decide which one to eat, but I ordered the "Turtle-san Curry", which was inspired by the sea turtle, which is the symbol of this restaurant. Local mothers will cook the food for you.
There is a slightly spicy curry for adults called ``Ki-kun'' for 800 yen (tax included), and a sweet curry with candy ``Takara-chan'' for 500 yen (tax included), which is great for parents and children to enjoy together. .
You can feel the warmth of the staff as they create each sea turtle in the shape of a sea turtle after you place your order.
We have fresh vegetables brought in every morning by local farmers in KihoTown. Due to its popularity, we recommend visiting early in the day when it has a large selection of items.
There are five flavors: plain, mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, coffee, and matcha, and mandarin orange and Meyer lemon contain fruit pulp. 50 yen/1 piece
Why not try buying some local sweets?
You can check road information, weather information, and local tourist information using the request terminal. It is also convenient for checking information on recommended tourist spots in the area.
Once you try it, you'll be addicted! The piping hot takoyaki and rich soft-serve ice cream are perfect for takeout when you're hungry.
At Sea Turtle Park, various events are held every year, such as the weekly festival in April, the mandarin orange festival in October, and the flea market held irregularly, and the park is crowded with many visitors.
