The general policy prohibiting guests from bringing outside meals, home-made lunch boxes, or external fast-food meals into the park, aimed at preventing food poisoning and maintaining excellent trash control.
📜 Cultural Origins
Implemented to ensure high hygiene standards, eliminate pests attracted to food scraps, and support Soya's themed restaurants. Strict bag security checks at park entrances filter out large external meal containers.
🚨 Correct Etiquette & Taboos
Security checks at entrance gates will inspect bags for large lunch boxes. While baby food, allergy-safe meals, and personal water flasks are permitted, standard bento boxes must be consumed at designated picnic tables outside.
🔊 Lunch boxes purchased at convenience stores cannot be brought into the park, so let's eat them in the outdoor picnic area before entering. / Thermoses and bottled water are permitted inside to prevent heatstroke.
