Godzilla: Kurihama Flower Garden - Part 2

The main part of Kurihama Flower Garden park is a meadow that gradually rises and ends at the base of small mountain ridge. There is a series of wooden stairs that take you most of the way to the top of the ridge. After a little more walking, you reach the top and find a play area that includes a giant replica of Godzilla. Why Godzilla? In the original movie, this is the part of Japan where he emerged from the ocean and set foot on Japan for the first time.




Besides the Godzilla statue, there is a huge
wooden playground with ropes and slides.

The large slides have rollers which makes the
ride pretty rough. There is a store that sells
a padded seat but it was closed. So, Zach used
a ski jump crouch and made it all the way down.

Andrea is posing using the peace sign that
is very popular among Japanese when
having their pictures taken.

Scene from the other side of the ridge as the
park extends down toward the ocean.
