Echigo Hillside Park

The 400-hectare park contains green lawns, mountain-shaped trampolines, water playgrounds, car-shaped bicycles, and five observation points spread across different sections.

The park opened on July 30, 1998, as part of Japan's national initiative to create large recreational spaces for the public in Niigata Prefecture.

The park presents eight annual festivals celebrating seasonal flowers, including tulips, roses, cosmos, and traditional Japanese winter celebrations with snow activities.

Visitors can reach the park by taking a 36-minute bus ride from Nagaoka Station or driving 10 minutes from Nagaoka IC on the Kanetsu Expressway.

The park features a 150-meter sledding slope during winter months and transforms into a cross-country skiing area with specialized snow playgrounds for all ages.
