Breathtaking views overlooking the East China Sea from the elevated hill lined with cacti

About this spot

A park situated on an elevated hill overlooking Akune's sea, featuring a unique landscape with tropical cacti planted throughout. From the observation point, the East China Sea spreads out in all directions, and on clear days you can see distant island silhouettes. The time spent feeling the sea breeze is a moment to forget daily life and refresh. It's also recommended to view the sea where fireworks will appear tonight from a different daytime angle.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Michi-no-Eki Akune. Since it's on an elevated area, it can be windy some days, so bringing a light jacket is reassuring. The view from the observation deck looks especially beautiful in the late afternoon hours.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour required. The late afternoon is recommended when the sea breeze is most pleasant.
