About this spot

A park on a hilltop overlooking the sea at Akune, featuring a unique landscape planted with cacti that evoke a tropical atmosphere. From the viewpoint, you can take in a full view of the East China Sea, and on clear days, even the silhouettes of distant islands are visible. Spending time here in the sea breeze offers a refreshing break from everyday life. It's also a good idea to view the sea where fireworks will rise tonight from a different angle during the day.

Tips

About a 10-minute drive from Michi-no-Eki Akune. Since it's on a hilltop, winds can be strong on some days, so it's reassuring to bring something to layer on. The view from the observation deck is especially beautiful in the time before evening.
