Mount Fudekage Observation Deck (筆影山展望台)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Mount Fudekage, rising behind the Sunami district of Mihara, is known as a vantage point over the island-studded beauty of the Seto Inland Sea. From the observation deck near the summit, a distinctive view unfolds of island after island overlapping, and you could watch the ships passing among them forever. You can drive almost all the way to the summit, which makes it an easy visit even with small children. Seeing the water from above also makes it much clearer where the seaside park you will play at later sits. Among the trees the breeze is cooler than in town, so it is a good place for a rest as well.

Tips

Sections of the road to the summit are narrow, so drive slowly and watch for oncoming cars. There is no shop at the observation deck, so bring your own drinks. There are many insects in summer, so repellent makes the visit more comfortable. The clearer the weather, the sharper the silhouettes of the islands, so do try to stop by on a sunny day.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. The morning light makes the sea sparkle, which is especially beautiful
