Unpenji Sanchō Park

Unpenji Sanchō Park sits atop Mount Unpenji at 920 meters elevation, overlooking the Sanuki Plain and the Seto Inland Sea. The grounds include multiple observation areas and stand next to an active temple that defines the site.

The grounds replaced the former Snow Park Unpenji, transforming the mountain into a destination open year-round. This shift made the location accessible to visitors beyond the winter season.

The adjacent Unpenji Temple, the 66th stop on the Shikoku pilgrimage route, has shaped this location for centuries. From the observation areas, visitors can watch Buddhist practice and religious life unfold at this sacred site.

A cable car system spanning 2,594 meters carries visitors up the mountain, covering about 657 meters of elevation gain. This provides an easy way to reach the top without hiking.

A swing at the summit offers an open view, letting visitors float above the mountain landscape. This unusual feature mixes play with an expansive outlook.
