Spectacular views of the bay during the day and beautiful starry skies at night The sky has a slight color cast due to the sodium lamps at Taco Bay and the airport, but you can still see a beautiful starry sky.

It's quite far from the village, so it's difficult to walk, but it's a place with a great view, so it's definitely a spot you should visit. On a clear day, you can see Miyakejima, Mikurajima, Mt. Sanbondake, and even Hachijojima. In recent years, whales can sometimes be seen in the winter. At night, it becomes a perfect starry sky spot with a sky full of stars. The dark Milky Way in summer is a must-see. Also, on a clear day in winter, you can see Canopus, which is said to bring you a long life. It's a place where the sea breeze blows, so it can get quite cold during the cold months if you don't take measures to protect yourself from the cold.

Observation deck on the way to the airport It is located higher than the airport, and I think it is one of the highest observation decks on the island. Tako Bay also looks quite small, and Miyakejima and Mikurajima tower over the sea.

I went there by bicycle because it was on a very steep slope, but I had to push it all the way...

It is located along the road. I went by village bus. The view is very good, and you can see far into the distance, giving it a sense of openness. It might have been more beautiful if it was sunny.

nice view 🥰

Parking lot 🅿️ Easy to park. A wonderful location overlooking Miura Bay and Tako Bay♪ I could see Miyakejima.

I put my camera up to the telescope and took this! Great view.

There are various observation decks on the island, but this is the best one if you want to get a feel of the vast Pacific Ocean. This is recommended for stargazing as it is easy to access by road and there are no obstructions.

During the day, you can also visit remote islands such as Miyakejima and Mikurashima. It's a place with a nice view. In night stargazing Canopus was also observed.
