Iwaya Observatory Course
This simple course starts from Toyohashi Zoo & Botanical Park and goes through the Iwaya Ryokuchi Park. Hikers head towards the observatory while experiencing the nature of the urban area. Iwaya Ryokuchi Park was constructed as a place for citizens to enjoy nature and the view from the observatory deck encompasses the entire city. We recommend an additional course walking through the Toyohashi Zoo & Botanical Park.
