【Niigata】Yahiko Summit Park/ Climbing Car (弥彦山頂公園・クライミングカー)

Access at Yahiko Summit Park

Climbing Car

The Yahikoyama Skyline is a great way to drive.

If you want to climb the mountaintop park from the Yahikoyama skyline side, park your car in the parking lot, enter the building near the Panorama Tower, and take a climbing car.

When you go inside, there is a place with a nostalgic atmosphere.

This atmosphere is also good.

he 3rd floor, yahikoyama nature museum, observation deck

.

If you go above 2F

The entrance is a little difficult to understand. If you go above the 2nd floor, go up the stairs that look like the restaurant entrance on the 1s
t floor. The 2nd level is a restaurant as a signboard, but you can go up as it is.

3F: Yahikoyama Nature Museum

It's hard to understand (?). Thanks to the entrance, the 3rd floor and the rooftop are less people, and it looks like a little bit of a spot.

The Yahikoyama Nature Museum on the 3rd is a material space where you can learn about the nature of Mt. Yahiko.
