The entrance to the park is quite attractive with a nice water feature and fountain

The cool water fountain runs on a timer so if you decide to walk under it, beware!

There is plenty of grass space to lay a blanket in the park, most of which is covered by trees to provide nice shade

The park is popular with children who often visit after school.

The park has a variety of playground equipment, this elaborate peice seems to be the most popular amongst the children

Donguri Park & Shrine is a small park and relaxation space in the heart of Kutchan. It's quite easy to completely miss the park as it sits amongst some of the larger, taller buildings in Kutchan town. The park is an ideal place for children to enjoy the play equipment and is also popular with workers who often enjoy their lunch in the park. The park has a clean toilet, drinking fountains, numerous playground equipment and plenty of green grass space surrounded by bench seats. At the back of the park is a Shrine, which is relatively small compared to other Shrines in the area, but still gives the park a relaxing atmosphere. The park is located on Kutchan Ekimae Dori, next to the Kutchan Police Station and opposite the Shiribetsu Government office.
