Yamanashi's cost-effective and low-cost play spots - games, animal interaction, etc.

The mini crane game near the entrance of Bandai Shoten Yamanashi Main Store in Nishihachiman, Kai City is a favorite playground in our family. The cost is 1 to 10 yen per session!
There is a wide variety of snacks, miscellaneous goods, toys, etc., and even if my 2-year-old daughter keeps complaining, "I want to try it again!", it's easy to try again, so I keep coming back♪
Cheap means that the toys you can get are not cheap, and the good thing is that you can get goods of popular characters!
By the way, if you go to the back of the store, there is a serious crane game area (1 yen per play), but I wonder if that will debut a little while later.

Atagoyama Kodomo-no-Kuni in Kofu City is a very popular park known for its extensive playground equipment.
However, when my family visits this park, our favorite activity is the mini Segway, which is only available on Sundays!
For just 500 yen, you can experience a mini Segway, which you rarely get to ride, and you can play for 40 minutes.
Even my elementary school daughter, who loves exercise, seems to be quite satisfied with these 40 minutes.
However, it is only open from 13:30 to 15:00 on Sundays, and if you don't line up before the start, it may be sold out, so it's best to get there early.

When parents and children go shopping at Aeon Mall Kofu Showa store, they stop by the Mofumofu Petting Zoo.
The reason I visit this place so often is because I get to interact with animals that I don't usually get to see, and because the prices are reasonable.
Children such as owls, wallabies, and tortoises that you would only be able to see through the fence at a zoo can be seen up close here!
Moreover, the admission fee is 20 yen for 440 minutes and admission is free for children under 3 years old, so it's a great place to use for a short time to refresh your son's mood when he gets tired of shopping.

Manriki Park in Yamanashi City was a favorite of our now grown children when they were little. The petting animal plaza was a must-visit area, and the animal-loving children kept looking at the squirrels and raccoons.
Although the petting animal plaza is small, the park as a whole is vast, and it is also attractive that you can have a lot of fun in it, such as playing on the athletic playground equipment or playing in the stream in the summer!
Recently, I heard that capybaras can be seen in hot springs in the winter, so I thought I'd go there again.

Kanagawa Forest in Ichinomiya, Fuefuki City is where I always go when I want to have fun and save money. There are many things you can enjoy in the large park, but when you visit here, you can't miss renting a bicycle!
You can ride a bicycle cart on the special course in the sports forest, or you can stroll around the park on a mountain bike.
After playing around for a while and exhausting my energy, I headed to the pond next to the service center.
Here, you can feed the carp for 50 yen, and my daughter was very excited to see the carp flocking to her for food!
