Sugitsu PA has different positions on the upper and lower lines, that’s the problem
There are expressways SA/PA all over the country that are known for their beautiful scenery, but one of the spots with a reputation for the beauty of the sunset is “Sugizu PA” on the Hokuriku Expressway in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. . In fact, this spot also has its origins in the railway.

Sugitsu PA is located in the mountains that separate Reinan and Reihoku in Fukui Prefecture, and the location differs depending on the upper and lower lines. The outbound line of Sugitsu PA, which is located higher up and overlooking Tsuruga Bay, has been certified as a “lover’s sacred place” by the NPO Regional Revitalization Support Center, which is sponsored by the Japan Tourism Agency. . At the observation point, in addition to the monument, there are also countless padlocks that were hung by lovers as “proofs of love.”
“It is said that Emperor Taisho, on his way to the shrine, stopped the train for a while to view it because of its beauty.On clear days, you can see the Tsuruga Peninsula.”
“A must-see date spot for couples when the sun sets behind the horizon.”
The website for “Lover’s Sanctuary” explains it like this. As the saying goes, “Stop the train,” a railroad once ran through this area, and it was a scenic spot.
Sugitsu PA on the up line, visible below the down line area, was originally Sugitsu Station on the Hokuriku Main Line. Part of the Hokuriku Expressway Up Line, including Sugitsu PA, is a part of the facilities of the old Hokuriku Main Line, which was replaced and abolished with the opening of the Hokuriku Tunnel in 1962 (Showa 37).
What the Emperor saw was the scenery from the up line, but the unobstructed view is the same from the up line. The down line allows you to see it from an even higher place.
By the way, “Lover’s Sanctuary” is a “romantic spot suitable for a proposal” that has been selected for the purpose of countering the declining birthrate and revitalizing the region. It is also possible to hold a wedding ceremony on the Sugitsu PA outbound line.
