Green Park Yoshimine
Green Park Yoshimine at Tateyama Yoshimine Onsen is a vast green space on a forested hillside overlooking the plains of Toyama. The park features walking trails, children’s playgrounds, a campsite, holiday cottages, a variety of sports facilities, a hot-spring bathhouse, and much more. It also serves as a gateway to Chubu-Sangaku National Park. Green Park Yoshimine is a 25-minute drive from Tateyama Station, the starting point of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
The mostly flat central section is easy to explore on foot and encompasses Yoshimine Koryukan, the park’s main information center and café, a spacious playground, a miniature golf course, barbecue facilities, and kitchen-equipped cottages that can accommodate four to six guests. From the central section, paved trails and dirt paths lead up the hillside to gazebos and two lookout towers. As the trails are steep in some places, visitors exploring the upper part of the park may want to consider renting an electric-assist mountain bike (E-bike) at Yoshimine Koryukan.
The lower section of the park includes a car camping zone where visitors can pitch a tent or sleep in their vehicle, and the Yoshimine Heights ryokan inn, restaurant, and hot-spring baths. The bathhouse, Yu-Land, has an outdoor bath (rotenburo) and a sauna. It is open to daytime visitors as well as overnight guests, many of whom are travelers returning from the mountains of Chubu-Sangaku National Park.
