Matsumoto City Alps Park is a comprehensive park with a vast area located in the hilly area of ​​Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. The biggest attraction is the magnificent panorama of the Northern Alps that can be seen from the high ground in the park. Especially on sunny days, you can feel the majestic scenery of famous peaks such as the Hotaka mountain range and Yari-ga-take mountain up close, and you will be moved by its beauty. From the observation plaza, Matsumoto city spreads out below, and it is a popular place to enjoy a spectacular view regardless of day or night.

Within the park, there are a variety of playground equipment facilities where children can exercise to their heart's content. In particular, the "Alps Dream Coaster" area, which features a roller slide with a total length of about 630 meters, net play equipment, and athletics, is very popular with children.

In addition, the small zoo "Forest of Small Birds and Small Animals", which can be enjoyed for free, has a corner where you can interact with cute animals such as squirrels, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and is popular with families with small children.

The park is rich in nature throughout the seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring and beautiful autumn leaves in autumn. It is also recommended to stroll around while enjoying bird watching and forest bathing. Hiking trails are also available, making it the perfect park for those who want to refresh themselves in nature or those who want to enjoy a day with the family.

[Trivia]
Matsumoto City Alps Park is located in a hilly area at an altitude of 800m, so the temperature is slightly lower than Matsumoto city, making it cool and comfortable even in summer. From inside the park, you can see the beautiful sunset over the Northern Alps mountains.

[Concerns]
The park is very large, so it takes a lot of time and energy to see everything. The sun is particularly strong in the summer, so heatstroke prevention measures (hat, hydration) are essential. There are also many ups and downs, so we recommend visiting with comfortable shoes.
