Beautiful views of land and sea - Sumoto Eight Views Observation Deck

Climb to the top of the Sumoto Hakkei Observatory. The rooftops of Sumoto City spread out like a brown checkerboard beneath your feet. The Yura Strait in the distance shimmers like silver. The sun casts long, narrow shadows, echoing with the distant Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. As you sip coffee on a bench on the observatory, the sea breeze gently brings up the scent of saltwater from below!

Tip:

Bring your own telephoto lens to capture the layers of the islands off the coast.
