ABOUT

About this spot

Hirakata Park, affectionately known as "Hirapa," is a long-established amusement park representing Osaka. Boasting the longest history of any amusement park in Japan still operating today, it continues to offer new fun. The park has around 40 attractions, including the wooden coaster "Elf," catering to everyone from thrill-seeking adults to small children. It is far more than an amusement park, with a beautiful rose garden and a plaza where you can interact with adorable animals, making it a perfect place for a relaxed time. In winter, the park is wrapped in illuminations during "Light Park," a popular date spot. Events fill every season, with a large pool in summer and Halloween in autumn, and the park is full of Osaka-style playfulness. It is recommended for families, for friends looking for lively fun, and for adults who prefer a calm stroll.
