- Access
- Coming from Imajo on the national highway, you can enter the cobblestone street by car. However, coming from Tsuruga, you'll have to make a U-turn, so you can't enter directly. Since the cobblestone street might be a bit tricky to navigate, we recommend parking at the parking lot with restrooms located just off the national highway. To reach it, take a sharp right turn from the Imajo side (or a diagonal left turn from the Tsuruga side). Show route
