What to Do If the First Parking Lot Is Full

Although the first parking lot offers a decent number of spaces, it’s located in a popular tourist area and may be full at times. In such cases, you’ll need to use either the second or third parking lot.

Even if you park in the second or third lot, you’ll first need to walk to the first parking lot before heading toward Uzu no Michi.

One important note: the road from the second and third parking lots to the first one is a steep uphill path. Walking it requires a fair amount of physical effort.

So, if there’s space available in the first lot, it’s highly recommended to use it.

A Commonly Missed Turnoff to the First Parking Lot

After passing the second and third parking lots and going around a curve, you’ll reach a fork in the road. Take the right-hand path for the shortest route to the first parking lot.
