Visited
in
late
October
2023,
just
before
full
fall
foliage
came.
We
started
in
this
observation
deck
because
we
couldn't
find
parking
at
the
main
parking
lot.
The
parking
lot
is
much
smaller
here,
maybe
10
to
15
car/
larger
vans.
We
got
lucky.
The
obersvation
deck
give
you
an
overview
of
the
entire
village.
This
is
where
the
brochure
photo
comes
from.
If
you
pay
for
a
drink/
food,
you
get
the
prime
viewing
spot.
in
my
opinion,
the
best
500jpy
spent
-
I
get
less
people
shoving
me
around,
hot
coffee,
and
center
view
of
the
entire
village.
Bathroom
is
free.
There
is
a
souvenir
shop
attached
to
the
cafe
where
Higurashi
stickers
littered
the
area
-
I
had
fun
searching
for
my
Easter
eggs.
From
here
you
can
walk
downhill
to
the
village
and
a
right
turn
would
end
up
near
Wada
House,
one
of
the
larger
exhibition
house.
The
walk
is
on
slope
and
about
10mins
down
or
15mins
up.
Excellent
to
burn
off
your
breakfast/early
lunch/
ice
cream
do
you
can
get
more
snacks
when
you
reach
the
village
and
vice
versa.
If
you
are
pressed
for
time,
this
is
a
excellent
place
to
visit
to
get
a
feel
of
the
historic
village.
