# Himeji Central Park

The safari splits in two: one course you drive through in your own car, and one you walk. In the amusement park an 85-meter Ferris wheel looks out over grounds ringed by hills. Another ride hands you a water gun and puts you to work as a firefighter. At the treasure hunt you wash gems and fossils out of a bag of sand and keep them. You cannot walk between the safari and the amusement park; a free shuttle bus runs instead.
