A viewpoint of granite rock formations and sweeping Seto Inland Sea scenery

About this spot

About 15 minutes by car from Shibukawa Beach (渋川海水浴場), this 234 m hill straddles Tamano City (玉野市) and Kurashiki City (倉敷市) and forms part of Setonaikai National Park (瀬戸内海国立公園), making it a popular viewpoint. Granite rock formations are scattered across the hillside, and a short walk along the trails opens up sweeping views of the Great Seto Bridge (瀬戸大橋) and islands large and small. The path to the observation deck is relatively gentle and well maintained, which makes it easy going even with small children. Taking in the many-islanded beauty of the Seto Inland Sea in soft morning light builds anticipation for the swimming ahead.

Tips

There is a car park you can drive up to near the summit, and from there it is about 10 minutes on foot to the observation deck. Some of the rocky sections are slippery, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The midday sun is strong in summer, so do not forget a hat and water.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Visiting in the morning while the light is soft makes both the views and the walking comfortable
