“HIROPPA” is a private park created by Maruhiro in 2021. It was born from the desire that the ceramic production company Maruhiro wants to provide a place where the local children who grew up in a ceramic production area could laugh, play and become interested in the crafts made in Hasami town, which is called “Hasami-yaki” in Japanese, in their future. This lush green park is designed with terrain instead of installing standard playground equipment. It is a place filled with Maruhiro’s fun gimmick and art, and there is Maruhiro flagship store with coffee stand so visitors can also enjoy having a coffee break and shopping here. The site area of HIROPPA is approximately 4,000 square meters, and the lawn is spreading out wide so children can have a blast running around in this park. Additionally, various kinds of trees and plants such as zelkova, cherry blossoms, maples, kiwis, apples peaches and walnuts, that can be enjoyed throughout the year, are planted in this park.
The playground, which is fused with the landscape, is designed so that children can freely decide how to play with their own imagination. There are sculptures and murals designed by domestic and overseas artists that Maruhiro has connected through Hasami-yaki projects.
The barrier-free passages are also available, so we hope that visitors with strollers or wheelchairs can have a fun here in HIROPPA.
