Insider tips

Wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the steep, multi-level paths comfortably.

Bring water and snacks as there are limited facilities for purchasing food once inside the park interior.

Plan your visit for a clear day to ensure visibility of the Sea of Japan from the upper observation points.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk the entire perimeter if you are not prepared for significant elevation changes, as the park is steeply sloped.
