Statue of Liberty
Copying the shape and size of the statue of liberty in Paris, France, the replica in Odaiba is made out of bronze. It sits facing the waterfront at Aqua City Odaiba. The 11 meter tall, 9 ton statue is about one third the size of the Statue of Liberty in New York. For whatever reason […]
Iwakuni Castle
Iwakuni Castle is located on the summit of a mountain 200m above sea level. From the rooftop observation platform on the top floor, you can see Kintaikyo, the entire Iwakuni City, as well as the various islands located in Seto Inland Sea, and the view is excellent. There is a ropeway from ground floor to […]

Ogi-machi Castle Ruin Observation Area
This observatory was built on the site of the castle of Ujikatsu Yamashita, a vassal of the Uchigashima Tameji clan who ruled this area in the 15th century. The front of the observatory is a precipitous cliff.
Mt. Rokko
At an altitude of 773 meters, the peak of Mt. Rokko is also a shopping and dining center. Mt. Rokko has four spots designated for sky watching, but the Tenran Observatory at Rokko Sanjou Station is the best among them. The city lights from this spot shine bright just like a diamond in your hands. […]
Mt. Yui Observatory
The observatory is about 2 km up from Kochiyama Observation Deck. The two observatories are close to each other, so it may be a good idea to visit them together, but the view from Yuidake Observatory is not great at all. In fact, the view along the road about 150 m before the observatory is […]

Mosaic Big Ferris Wheel
This landmark of Harborland reaches a height of approximately 50 meters. If you stay for a ride, you can enjoy a 10-minute journey from up above. When the sun sets, about 120,000 LED lights colorfully light up the entire wheel.
Shinei no Oka Observatory Park
Typical of Hokkaido scenery, the simple sprawling view of Biei’s rolling hills can be seen from this observatory park. The view of the sunset is especially famous for its beauty. The observatory park can be found midway through Panorama Road and a convenient break spot with bathrooms, a rest area, a parking lot, and shops.
Heart Rock
It is a heart-shaped tide pool that appears only at low tide, which occurs twice a day, and is a very popular romantic and power spot. It is located on the east coast of the village of Akaogi in the northeastern part of Amami Oshima. There is an entrance to the beach along a narrow […]

Hachiman-zaka
The picturesque scene of the tree lined hill stretching out to the sea is often used in movies and commercials. A major newspaper even ranked it the No.1 hill in Japan.
Manenzaki Observation Deck
The observatory is located on high ground along Prefectural Road 626. The view from the observatory is very good. The view of coral reefs, islands, Rias coast, beautiful gradation of ocean colors, and deep greenery of mountains from here is wonderful. There are two viewing spots, one from which you can see the Oshima Strait […]

Shikisai no Oka
Located atop a high hill, the garden is one of the must visit spots in Biei with a spectacular view. Enjoy in season flowers from spring to autumn. The garden takes up over 150,000 sq. m. of land and has roughly 30 kinds of flowers planted in stripes of red, yellow, pink, and white, so […]
Kobe Port Tower
This crimson tower, looming at a height of 108 meters, is another landmark of Kobe. From the top of the observatory, you can see everything from the Rokko mountains to the ocean. At dusk, 7000 LED lights illuminate the tower. Every season, the light patterns also change.
Kochiyama Observatory
It is the observatory with the best view in Amami Oshima (probably) and is located at an altitude of 415 meters above sea level. The observatory is a rather cute mushroom-shaped building, but a superb view awaits you on the top floor. The top floor offers a superb view of the Oshima Strait with its […]

Shirahige Waterfall
The water gushing out and falling 30 meters comes from Mt. Tokachi’s underground water. If you want a great view of it all, head over to “Blue River Bridge”, the bridge standing over Biei River. In winter, the splashes of water and steam magically create silver frost on the trees, depicting a fantasy-like wonder. And, […]
知念岬公園
太平洋に向かって突き出した岬の先端にある公園で、あまり人が多くない“穴場”だ。 高台にあり、三方が海に囲まれているので、視界を遮るものがなく非常に眺めが良い。 公園の下は、エメラルドグリーンの珊瑚礁となっており、その先はグラデ―ジョンが美しいコバルトブルーの海と水平線、青い空が広がっている。 そして沖縄で“神の島”と呼ばれている久高島も間近に見える。 また、知念岬は東側に向かって開けているので、海から昇ってくる真っ赤な太陽を見ることが出来る“日の出観賞スポット”としても有名だ。 そして周りに光源がほとんどない場所なので、夜は星空や月が非常にクリアに見える。 公園内はきれいに整備されており、赤瓦屋根の東屋や歩きやすい遊歩道があるので、散策すると非常に気持ちが良い。 なお、公園内に売店やレストランなどはない。
