Mount Myojin Shizen no Mori

This lookout point sits at the top of Mount Myojin, at an elevation of 273.6 meters. From the observation deck you have a spectacular view of the Yamato Plain. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Akashi Strait. Try using the free telescope to find World Heritage Sites like Todaiji Temple and Kofukuji Temple. The Yukyu no Kane (“Bell of Eternity”) bell was installed in 2016. The place was recognized as a Lovers’ Sanctuary in 2019.
