The Myoko Plateau Visitor Center, located at Imori-ike Pond in Myoko Plateau, Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, will have its grand opening on Friday, April 1. The center will have an exhibition space to introduce the attractions of Myoko Togakurenzan National Park, and is expected to serve as a gateway to the Myoko Togakurenzan National Park area.<\/p>\r\n

The Myoko Plateau Visitor Center is a facility directly managed by the Ministry of the Environment and will open as a tourist information center for the entire Myoko Togakurenzan National Park. The facility is a one-story wooden building, more than twice the size of the previous facility, measuring approximately 840 square meters. It was temporarily opened last October during the fall holiday season, and until now only the rest area and restrooms in the facility have been available. During the autumn foliage season, approximately 10,000 people visited the facility in one month.<\/p>\r\n
