There's a Starbucks, some restaurants, and a souvenir area where you can buy exclusive items. The coolest part is the Ferris wheel inside the rest area—you get a great view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from up high.

As soon as you go up, you can see Lake Toya right away. The view is super wide open. Getting scenery like this without having to hike up a mountain feels really generous for an observatory.

You can get really close to the animals by riding in a car. It feels super immersive! The herbivores even walk right up to the car—if it's your first time, it'll definitely surprise you.

It’s not a long street, but it feels really local and lively. There are lots of hidden gem shops to discover!
