Water runs into its sandbox, so children come away muddy and rinse off on the spot. The larger Kodomo-no-Mori holds a fort with six slides and the Fog Forest. Mist there comes in short bursts each hour and half hour, 10:00 to 15:00, and children have run into it delighted. Even so, with the lawn, boats and bikes as well, one family covered only half the park in a day. - Area: Tokyo - Type: Play - Hours: Kodomo no Mori opens at 9:30 and closes 30 minutes before the park closes; the Sea of Clouds bouncing domes close 45 minutes before. - Last verified: 2026-08-25 ## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date) | Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Nursing space | Yes | | 2025-10-08 (web) | [source](https://www.gotokyo.org/jp/spot/255/index.html) | | Diaper changing table | Yes | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.showakinen-koen.jp/park-information/child/) | | Family restroom | Yes (41) | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.showakinen-koen.jp/barrier-free/) | | Stroller friendly | Yes | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.udnavi.tokyo/udinfo/detail/detail00307.html) | | Lost-child support | Yes | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.showakinen-koen.jp/child/) | | Indoor / outdoor | Outdoor | The main path of the Japanese Garden is soil-mixed paving that is easy to walk, passable by wheelchair or stroller; signs mark which sections are passable (condition: the main path of the Japanese Garden only). | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.ktr.mlit.go.jp/showa/showa_00014.html) | | Diaper disposal bin | No | The nursing and diaper-changing room in the Central Management Building has no diaper trash can (condition: that room only; other locations unknown). | 2026-02-21 (web) | [source](https://mamamap.jp/spots/10921) | | Kids' toilet seat & step stool | No | The nursing and diaper-changing room in the Central Management Building has no child toilet seat (condition: the Central Management Building only). | 2026-02-21 (web) | [source](https://mamamap.jp/spots/10921) | | Elevator | Yes | From Tachikawa Gate you leave the park, and an elevator down from the "Floating Garden" in the Green Culture Zone reaches the Hana-Midori Culture Center (condition: the park is nearly flat, and this slope in the Green Culture Zone is the one place an elevator is needed). | 2026-03-31 (web) | [source](https://www.sangyo-rodo1.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/tourism/accessible/course35.html) | | English support | English menu & signs | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://www.showakinen-koen.jp/) | | Outside food allowed | Yes | | 2026-08-25 (web) | [source](https://iko-yo.net/facilities/18122) | | Official family-friendly certification | Not checked yet | | | | ## How to cite these facts Free to reuse.
