CHI-BA+KUN
Tokyo German Village offers different ways to enjoy each season. In spring, you can enjoy the pretty flowers blooming in the rose garden and flower garden, in summer you can go camping, in autumn you can experience harvesting, and in winter you can enjoy the illuminations. It's a spot you'll want to visit any time of the year.
Inside the park, you can see Germany's rich natural scenery all around, centering around flower gardens and lawns.
There are also amusements, areas where you can interact with animals, and areas where you can harvest fruits and vegetables, so you can enjoy them all year round.
The park is divided into three main areas: the Flower Garden Area, the Amusement Area, and the Marktplatz (restaurant and shopping) area.
However, there are also other corners where you can experience a "children's zoo", "doggy land", and "harvesting experience".

In terms of facilities, there are some challenges, such as stairs and slopes within a certain range, but they are at a level where they can be used independently in a wheelchair.
A unique feature of the park is that private cars are the main means of transportation within the 89.3 hectare park. Although efforts have been made to make many areas barrier-free, there are few flat areas, and the more people try to make full use of the facilities that are scattered over a wide area, the more frequently they have to transfer between cars and wheelchairs.
