💡 Tips for Visitors

The park is easily accessible from Harimaya-bashi tram stop on the Tosaden streetcar line. Best visited during early morning or evening for photos when the bridge's red lacquer glows beautifully. Nearby shops and restaurants are primarily cash-only, so bring yen; combine your visit with a walk through the Obiyamachi shopping arcade just minutes away.
