No dated official re-check on file for this venue yet — what follows comes from our editors’ spot database. Hours and closures change; check the official site before you travel.
Kodomo no Kuni — literally “children’s country” — is a large hillside park on the Tokyo–Yokohama border with a farm, a summer pool and a winter ice rink, so it has something running whatever month you travel. Getting there is part of it: the Tokyu Kodomonokuni line is a short branch that exists to serve the park, and it ends three minutes from the gate. Children under three enter free.
Where it fits in a Tokyo trip
It is a half to full day rather than a stop, and it suits a stay on the south-west side of Tokyo or in Yokohama. Think of it as the outdoor-and-animals day rather than the sightseeing day — the farm and the space are the point, not any single attraction.
Getting there: About 3 minutes on foot from Kodomonokuni Station, the terminus of the Tokyu Kodomonokuni line. · The Anpanman Museum, on the Yokohama side
Admission structure: Free through age two; from three there is a small child fare. We do not print prices — they change; check the official site before you go.
Which ages this actually works for
Not “kid friendly” — a per-age verdict for Kodomo no Kuni (Yokohama), with the reason.
Baby (0–1)
Not verifiedNeither our editors’ age tags nor our visit notes cover this age band, so we are not guessing.
Toddler (1–3)
WorksTagged from two. A farm and open ground at toddler pace, and the branch-line train ride to reach it counts as part of the outing at this age.
Preschooler (3–5)
WorksTagged through the band, and the seasonal half — pool in summer, skating in winter — gives a five-year-old a reason to spend the whole day.
Age ratings are derived from the facility and access data we hold for each place, using a fixed rule that we publish on the page — they are not opinions. Where we do not hold the evidence a rating needs, we show “Not verified” rather than guessing.
Planning notes
From the venue’s own information and our editors’ research. We have not taken our own children here, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Year-round
The farm runs all year, the pool in summer and the ice rink in winter, so unlike most outdoor parks this one has a plan in every season.
The train
The Tokyu Kodomonokuni line is a short branch built to reach the park, ending three minutes from the gate. For a train-minded child it starts the day well.
Crowds
Quiet on weekdays, moderate on holidays.
