This is undoubtedly a must-visit spot on Kouri Island! If the rating is out of five stars, I’d give it eight ⭐️.
What surprised me the most right from the start was the driverless electric car ride. It gently ascends the slope, allowing you to slowly take in the breathtaking views of Kouri Bridge and the vast expanse of the blue ocean. The experience is incredibly soothing. The ride is smooth, and you can take photos and enjoy the sea breeze without having to drive yourself—pure relaxation.
At the top of the tower’s observation deck, the view is even more stunning. The entire Kouri Bridge looks as if it’s floating on the ocean, surrounded by a 360-degree panorama of the blue sea. Every photo you take here looks like a postcard.
Inside, there’s a shell museum and a souvenir shop, and the best part is the free tasting! Their pineapple cake is a must-try—crispy with a rich fruity aroma. I couldn’t resist buying a box to take home after trying it.
📍 Convenient access: Drive across Kouri Bridge to reach the location, and parking is free.
🎟 The ticket includes the electric car ride and access to the observation deck—totally worth the price.
Highly recommended! Perfect for couples, families, photography enthusiasts, and anyone who loves the ocean and wants to unwind.
