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.

Yeah Michael its much bigger than it looks from the tiny entrance. It's roughly the same size as many of the commercial buildings in town.

The park looks very spacious despite being surrounded by parking lots.
