Parking lot of Usui No. 3 Bridge (Glasses Bridge)
There was a place where cars could be parked near Each Bridge, but the parking lot seems to be basically only one place.
It is a free parking lot, but it is not so large that you can park about 20 cars, so it was full on holidays. The national highway
is one lane on one side, and it is difficult because the car behind gets stuck when waiting at the entrance of the parking lot when waiting for
it to be vacant.... In that case, it is good to wait for the parking lot to go back and forth.
There are toilets in the parking lot and sidewalks along the national highway. The parking lot
is located a little more on the Karuizawa side than Each 55-bridge, and it takes about 2-3 minutes on foot from the parking lot to the right under the bridge.
In the past, people were wondering where to park their cars, but now they are becoming tourist destinations.
