Toyama City's Best Observation Deck, 'Kurehayama Park Observation Deck'

Japan Travel Diary 60: Toyama Edition

📍Kurehayama Park Observation Deck

When touring Toyama City, you can't miss the ⛰️Kurehayama Park Observation Deck.

Although the journey might be a bit long and, as the name suggests, you need to hike a bit to reach the ⛰️Kurehayama Park Observation Deck, the breathtaking view makes it all worthwhile✨.

From the Kurehayama Observation Deck, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city, including the Hokuriku 🚅Shinkansen route, with the majestic Tateyama mountain range as the backdrop.

Tateyama might not always be visible even on clear days, and unfortunately, it was one of those days when I visited😢.

However, even just seeing the silhouette of the mountains was a magnificent sight✨.

If you visit Kurehayama Park Observation Deck using public transportation, you can also enjoy a walk through a bamboo forest on your way up🎋.

While the observation deck itself is fantastic, the rural roads and mountain scenery along the way are equally beautiful, making it a must-visit spot for anyone traveling in Toyama City☺️.
