Sorado
Sorado, the Aerial Promenade, is a 300-meter-long observatory path built in the air, 3-10 meters above the ground, allowing you to view and experience the forest as if you were a bird perched on a tree branch. Along the way, the path also has an 82-meter-high observation deck, some athletic gimmicks that require a bit of physical exercise on your part and a hanging bridge over a creek.

Japanese Garden
In the northern corner of the park lies a huge Japanese garden. With an abundance of gardening techniques developed in the country, it offers beautiful scenery featuring a sense of harmony which the Japanese so value. There are also many eateries in the garden. A cup of matcha (green tea) and Japanese sweets are nice to have while you take a break. Admission fee is 250 yen for adults, 70 yen for children.

Seasonal illumination
Throughout the year, the park is illuminated differently at night for special occasions such as Christmas. Tower of the Sun is also shown with various effects using a mirror ball, laser beams or cutting-edge technology of projection mapping. The tower, glowing eerily with lights, gains even more power and presence in its appearance and is definitely worth seeing.
