妙高サンシャインランド

Myoko Sunshine Land is an amusement park in the Joetsu area with multiple rides and attractions spread across its grounds. The facility includes a 50-meter Ferris wheel alongside natural hot springs and golf facilities within the same complex.

The park was founded as a recreational facility in Niigata Prefecture and helped develop tourism in the Joetsu region. The Ferris wheel later became a defining feature that drew more visitors to the area.

The park has become known as a destination for marriage proposals, with couples choosing the Ferris wheel as a romantic setting to ask the important question. This reputation has shaped how locals and visitors view the place today.

The park is best reached by car and provides ample parking for visitors. Visiting during off-peak times helps avoid long lines and allows you to enjoy the grounds more comfortably.

The Ferris wheel offers different views of the surrounding mountains depending on the season, making the panorama shift dramatically throughout the year. This changing perspective means visitors see a different landscape with each visit depending on when they come.
