A theme park where you can enjoy
"spending time with flowers and birds"
Kakegawa city is located about 30 minutes East of Hamamatsu city by train. Kakegawa-kachoen is located not far off from the Kakegawa castle which was called "the great castle in Tokai area". Kakegawa-kachoen is a theme park where you can enjoy spending time with birds and/or looking at various flowers in full bloom. In this expansive site, there is a glass house (a large greenhouse), a water lily pool, a pond, and an emu farm. There is a glass house which is a comfortable space where you can enjoy your day without worrying about the weather. It is cool in summer while maintaining warmth in winter.
Feel and touch the birds
Most of the birds are not in the cages so you can have direct contact them and even feed them. Visitors commonly take pictures with an owl on their arm or a penguin on their lap. There is a spectacular bird show here which is one of the events you don't want to miss. The birds fly low very close to you and show their special skills.
