Aoi Park

Aoi Park is an agricultural revitalization center and public park in Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture, celebrating the region's rich farming heritage through a variety of hands-on activities and fresh-produce experiences. The park's teaching farm invites visitors to harvest seasonal crops throughout the year, including strawberries and onions in spring, melons in summer, yams and taro in autumn, and daikon and cabbage in winter. A vibrant farmers market showcases locally grown Hekinan vegetables — including the city's signature carrots — alongside an array of seasonal produce and specialty goods. A greenhouse filled with flowering plants provides a colorful counterpoint to the working farm areas. Dining at the on-site restaurant features dishes made with fresh vegetables straight from the fields, while a bathhouse with herbal baths offers a relaxing end to the visit. With operating hours spanning morning to evening and accessibility throughout the week, Aoi Park provides a welcoming, genuinely local experience for families and agricultural enthusiasts exploring coastal Aichi.
