Why children love it: A 90 m deck at the east end of Odori Park looking straight down the tree-lined avenue, spectacular during the summer flower beds, winter illuminations and Snow Festival.
Honest drawbacks: A short viewpoint visit, and the view is far better lined up with a seasonal Odori Park event than on an ordinary day.
