Riding a 68-Meter Escalator to a Hilltop Grand Panorama
About this spot
A scenic escalator 68 meters long with a height gain of 34 meters that leads to the summit observation platform of Naruto Park. Riding upward through a glass-enclosed tunnel in a straight line is itself an experience like an attraction—as you ascend, the Naruto Strait's landscape rises behind you. From the Naruto Mountain Observatory at the summit, a 360-degree panorama unfolds: the Onaruto Bridge and its swirling strait, the island of Awaji across the water, and on the other side, the Konaruto Bridge and the streets of Naruto. With a view of the entire Naruto Park you've explored all day, this is the perfect place to conclude your journey through masterpieces and whirling tides, weaving together all your memories. A gift shop carries Tokushima souvenirs.
Tips
Just a short walk from the Naruto Park parking lot to the entrance. In the late afternoon, the westward sun makes the sea glimmer; sunglasses are recommended to manage the glare. Operating hours vary by season, so confirm the last departure time at the entrance before relaxing at the observation platform.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes required. In the evening, soft light makes the strait glimmer beautifully, creating the perfect conclusion to your day.
