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.
Flower Land Kamifurano
It’s the largest sightseeing farm in Furano with a site area of 150,000 ㎡; dozens of seasonal flowers bloom in profusion as if they were filling the top of a small hill. In addition to the flower garden, a tractor bus that leisurely takes visitors on a 10 min ride through the garden is very […]
Shirogane Blue Pond
The pond’s crystal blue appearance, as though something had melted in the water, and the decayed larch surrounding it gives the pond a mysterious aura yet awesome vibe. The blue pond suddenly rose to international fame when it was once selected as one of Apple computer’s wallpaper. Now, this pond is by no means old. […]
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.
Senkōji Park
Senkōji Park stretches from the top of 144-meter-high Senkōji Mountain to the mid-slope. From the observatory in the park, visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the city of Onomichi, the Seto Inland Sea, and the islands, with the evening view being particularly spectacular. On a clear day, the mountains of Shikoku can be seen in […]
Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens & Ropeway
Known for being the best herb gardens in Japan, it is also the most easily accessible night view viewing spot in the mountains. You may choose to either watch from the bullet-train or go up 400 meters to the peak on the ropeway near Shin-Kobe Station. The gondola lift on the ropeway holds up to […]
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 […]
Suwayama Park
This park is located on top of a hill 160 meters tall. You can enjoy the night views of Kobe city from Kinseidai Observatory or Venus Bridge, which is a bridge in the shape of an 8 and is a 5-minute walk from the park. The lights from ships and airplanes arriving at and departing […]
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 […]

Heart Shape Bay Viewpoint
This is an observatory located on high ground along Prefectural Road 626. Looking down on the bay from here, the view is not “beautiful” but somehow heart-shaped. If you come here as a couple and look at the heart-shaped bay together, or take a selfie with the heart in the background, it will surely be […]

Tenneiji (temple)
This is a temple of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism founded in 1367 by Ashikaga Yoshinori (1330-1367), the second shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.

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 […]

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. […]
Honohoshi Coast
It is located on a cape at the southern tip of Amami Oshima Island. The round stones make a strange sound every time a wave comes in. There is an old legend that “whoever takes the stones away from the beach will bring bad luck,” so the round stones are prohibited from being taken out […]

Deai (Encounter) Bridge
This 107-meter-long suspension bridge connects the Seseragi Park parking lot to the Hagicho village with its rows of Gassho-zukuri buildings, and spans the Shogawa River. The bridge offers a clear view of the Gassho-zukuri houses and the contrast between the mountains and the clear stream, as well as the fresh greenery and autumnal leaves. However, […]
