Of course kids will love meeting the local deer, but there are many other activities that families can enjoy together. From goldfish scooping and fruit picking to amusement park excitement and a tiger-themed temple, there is fun to be had around every corner.
Mt. Ikoma, Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park
This small amusement park is aimed at children, with rides that are fun without being too big and scary. There are regular live super hero shows. The views over the valley are also lovely. | Activities & Experiences | Ikoma
Kids will love scooping goldfish at this "training gym" for scooping. In summertime, there are competitions and events, but you can try scooping anytime. | Souvenirs | Yamato Koriyama
Shigisan Chogosonshi-ji Temple
Known as "Shigisan", this temple is famous for its huge tiger figures. Kids can enjoy walking through the belly of the tiger, which is supposed to make you brave and strong. | History & Culture | Ikoma
The trip up Mt. Ikoma is half the fun. There are four cable cars, each with a different theme. You might take a cat, dog, cake or music shaped car. Even the insides are themed, with printed seats. | Activities & Experiences | Ikoma
