Observation Deck Overlooking the Sea & Signature Soft Ice Cream
About this spot
Just near Horikiri Pass, this roadside station sits on an elevated plateau overlooking the Hyuga Coast. Its greatest pride is the observation deck commanding a view of the entire Pacific Ocean—beneath it stretches the Oni-no-Sentakuita, and before you unfolds an endless gradient of blue extending to the horizon that takes your breath away. The signature attraction is the colorful soft ice cream featuring Miyazaki flavors like Hyuganatsu citrus and mango that capture the spirit of the region. The gift shop stocks abundant local specialties and seafood souvenirs, convenient for making up for any forgotten purchases. Whether as a driving break or as the perfect finale to your afternoon seaside stroll while watching the ocean bathe in soft evening light, this is an ideal spot to conclude your day.
Tips
The observation deck can be windy, so be mindful of the wind direction when enjoying your soft ice cream. Weekend soft ice cream lines can be quite long. The return route also winds along the coastal road with many curves, so departing while it's still light out is recommended.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The afternoon light bathing the observation deck provides a seascape worthy of your day's conclusion.
