Last Updated on 2021/4/16 by 筆者のプロフィール

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.

Ride in a climbing car

Climbing cars run from time to time, so you can ride with little waiting time. It takes about 1 minute.

3Yesity measures, the window of the climbing car was vacant.

Yahiko Summit Park

In the park, there are observation restaurants, snack shops, Yahikoyama Nature Museum, etc., and it has become a tourist destination.

Yahikoyama Observation Shokudo

In the park, this building is close to climbing cars and ropeway rides,

On the 1st floor, there are shops, snack shops, toilets
on the 2nd floor, restaurants on t
he 3rd floor, yahikoyama nature museum, observation deck
RF is an 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.

RF: Observation Deck

RF is an observation deck.
