Murou Fushigi Forest Park
Try an 83-metre hillside roller slide and a forest walk, while checking which play structures remain open.
Verified site photographs are being prepared.Discover Murou Fushigi Forest Park
Fushigi Forest Park lies beside Murou Dam and combines a steeply set landscape with family play. Uda City's current park department page describes an 83-metre roller slide winding down the slope and says the large slide and composite play structure are usable. Crucially, it also says older wooden play equipment is closed because of deterioration. A tourism page still describes those timber structures as attractions, so families should plan around the newer operational notice rather than assume every pictured item is available.
Choose the open play features
The park department's page, updated in January 2026, says the 83-metre roller slide and composite play equipment can be used, while wooden equipment has been stopped for age-related reasons. The more general tourism listing still mentions the wooden fort and forest corridor, so it is not a current availability list. Follow barriers and signs on site; do not let children use closed structures just because a photograph shows them.
A slope-side outing, not a flat playground
The tourism guide describes a walkway climbing the park slope and a view from above. This terrain makes the setting part of the experience but also means a slide or upper viewpoint may require a climb. The checked city pages do not establish step-free access to all play areas, so visitors with mobility needs should ask the park department about their specific route before travelling.
Arrive by train or check the correct lot
Uda City gives the park address as Murou Ono 3824-1 and estimates a fifteen-minute walk from Kintetsu Murouguchi-Ono Station. It lists three parking areas: beside the East Uda Clean Center, by the city road and beside the prefectural sports ground. The city-road lot may be closed because of illegal dumping; the city says to use the other two if it is shut. Do not treat a map pin as a parking instruction.
Cost, weather and local alerts
The city lists park use as free and does not state a booked-entry requirement. It does not publish a reliable daily gate schedule on the checked page. Outdoor play depends on weather and equipment inspections. A bear-related entry restriction affecting the park and Ryuchin Gorge was lifted in August 2025, but that notice is historical; check newer city alerts and park signs on the day.
Combine carefully with Murou Dam
The park is adjacent to the dam, but the dam office, Lake Murou shore and Ryuchin Falls are distinct destinations with their own paths and safety rules. The reservoir is not a swimming or barbecue add-on to a playground visit. If combining them, identify each access point, bring water and allow extra time rather than assuming a continuous accessible lakeside circuit.
