Peaceful Nishi Ward ranges across residential suburbs to forested mountain areas with trails to waterfalls at Nunojikino, and views over the city from quiet Shinto shrine Teine Okumiya. The adjoining ski area is also accessible by ropeway. Popular chocolate and cookie factory Shiroikoibito Park hosts family-oriented tours in a complex styled like a Tudor mansion, with candy shops, cafes, and a mini-railway circuit.
