| At the southern tip of the park, you can see both the dinosaurs. If the sky is clear, you can have a great view of the sun setting between the dinosaurs, with Fujisan 富士山 in the background. Unfortunately the sky was not clear that day, and that I could not wait for the sun to set as I had a long distance train to catch.
