Here?
Mt. Thanyama Forest Park is a park full of nature in the forest, and there is a mountain serenity museum and athletics.
It is also a park on a high stand near Lake Tazawa, so you can see Lake Tazawa well from the "Tazawako Observatory" in the park.
Point
Speaking of Lake Tazawa, "Tatsako Statue" is famous, so sightseeing is mainly there, but this is also a spot where you can enjoy the superb view of Lake Tazawa.
From Mt. Katamae Forest Park to the Statue of Tatsuko?
Around here.
The famous Tatsuko Statue is a 5-minute drive away.
By the way, there is a free parking lot if you walk a little from "Tatsuko Statue", but there is no free parking lot near the statue, and the parking lot of the souvenir shop is not so much.
So if you want to take a walk a little, there seems to be a promenade that continues to the "Tatsako Statue" in the park, so I think that there is a difference in height, but it may be good to park your car in the parking lot of the park and then walk away.
Tazawako Observatory
It is a immediate walk from the parking lot to the observation deck.
It takes about 2 minutes on foot, and the observation deck offers a superb view of Lake Tazawa.
At the end of Lake Tazawa, you can see the mountains colored with autumn leaves.

Parking lot of Mt. Katamae Forest Park (Tazawako Observatory)
There is also a driveway in the large park, so you can drive to the area where the Tazawako Observatory is located.
Parking is free, but the closest parking lot from the observation deck is not very large.
If it is full, there is a parking lot (see the photo at the beginning of this article) near the Yamanyuki Museum, so I think that it will be in the form of using it.
