On your way from Yubatake to the park, you'll encounter a lively atmosphere with street vendors selling onsen manju (hot spring buns) and offering games like shooting ranges. Plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants are also available for a relaxing break during your walk. At night, the entire park is illuminated, creating a magical ambiance.
