Nestled in the Senboku Hills of Sakai City, just under an hour from central Osaka, Harvest Hill is a sprawling, family-friendly destination brimming with seasonal fun, adventure and culinary delights. This park is home to restaurants, thrilling activities and the famous Sylvanian Families Park.

Often overshadowed by the bright lights of Osaka or the historic temples of Kyoto, Harvest Hill is a hidden gem loved by locals and a perfect escape for tourists. Harvest Hill offers a variety of activities: try ziplines, Go-Kart races and Kansai’s longest grass slide. For a more relaxed experience, go horseback riding or pick seasonal fruits.

The park also has homemade products like sausages, smoked chicken, craft beer and sweets such as Baumkuchen and cheesecake. You can enjoy them at the restaurants or take some home from The Harvest Shop. There are several dining options, whether you want a quick snack or a sit-down meal. If you have a sweet tooth, the Baumkuchen Factory is a must-visit.

The flower gardens at Harvest Hill change with the seasons. In spring, you’ll see tulips and yellow rapeseed flowers, along with cherry blossoms. June brings hydrangeas and in summer, sunflowers and orange cosmos appear. In fall, marigolds complement the autumn foliage.

I highly recommend that place for families with kids up until the end of elementary school age. I have been there with mine. It was really enjoyable and very affordable. You could bring your own lunch if you want. It's not like your USJ or Disneyland style park, but the rides are still enjoyable.
