Next stop: Secure Your Spot and Enjoy an Early Dinner While Viewing the SunsetAbout this spot
A mountain of approximately 227 meters elevation near Innoshima's center, known for about 700 stone Buddha statues called the "Five Hundred Arhat" carved in the Edo period, arranged along the summit area. Walking among these expressive stone Buddhas as you ascend leads to a vast panorama overlooking the islands dotting the Seto Inland Sea and the bridges of Shimanami Kaido. On clear days, the observation platform offers views stretching to distant islands—arguably the highlight of Innoshima sightseeing. The hike from parking to summit is manageable for families. You can also confirm the direction where tonight's fireworks will launch from here.
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Innoshima Flower Center. Comfortable shoes recommended for the observation platform. In summer, bring sun protection as shaded areas are limited. About 15 minutes by car to Shimanami Beach.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Clear afternoon air allows views of distant islands.
