📍Kirosan Observation Park, Ehime Prefecture

Kirosan Observation Park, located at an altitude of 301.1m, is located at the southern tip of Oshima Island and is designated as part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park.

From the panoramic observation bridge, known for its design by Kengo Kuma, you can see the world's first triple suspension bridge, the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, the tidal currents of the Kurushima Strait, one of Japan's three fastest tides, and on a clear day, the highest peak in western Japan, Mt. Ishizuchi.

In addition, the regular illumination of the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge and the night view of Imabari City are also must-sees.

It was ranked second in the "Travel Lovers' Choice! Japan's Best Viewpoints Ranking 2017" announced by Trip Advisor.

In 2017, "The Kurushima Strait as seen from the summit of Mt. Kiro" was selected as one of the 88 scenic views of Shikoku.
