Kokuei Echigokyuryo Park / 国営越後丘陵公園
Although it was a mountain that was opened on a large scale due to the development of the state-owned Nagaoka New Town, the new town was not sold due to the inconvenience of transportation and the collapse of the bubble. For this reason, it is the only national park in the Hokuriku region where the country has developed a part of the land to make it a new town as a relief measure.
There is a large lawn space in the park, a flower and green building, a warm building (both facilities have a restaurant), a resting facility with the old Niigata Customs building as a motif, an observation deck with a skew elevator, and aroma Has a rose garden as a theme.
During the snowy season, a 1km and 2km cross-country course is set up, and tools can be rented for free.
There are two annual events in summer and winter, called “Summer Night Presents” and “Winter Illumination” that decorate the park with illumination.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Hokuriku Regional Development Bureau Echigo Hillside Park Office maintains, and the Echigo Park Management Center manages.
