About this spot
Echigo Hillside National Government Park, known as the only national government park in the Hokuriku region, is a leisure spot boasting vast grounds of about 400 hectares. There is plenty to see throughout the year: tulips in spring, fragrant roses in early summer and autumn, sunflowers in summer and cosmos in autumn, with colorful flowers charming visitors. The rose garden in particular boasts one of Japan's leading collections, offering a fragrant stroll. For active types, the wooden athletic course and the giant trampoline "Fuwafuwa Dome" are very popular. In winter, "White Season" brings one of Hokuriku's largest sledding slopes, snow tubes and cross-country skiing. From the observation deck, you get panoramic views of the Echigo Plain, the Shinano River and distant mountains, perfect for refreshing. From a solo stroll to family trips and dates, it is a classic sightseeing spot where you can enjoy Niigata's rich nature in any scene.
