Myoousan Observatory

Observation deck

👍👍 2023.12.10 4th visit, this time I climbed from Sakoma Fudo again. Since it was Sunday, it was crowded with many hikers. Among them was an 87-year-old man, who appeared to be recording something like a mountain climbing record in a green box at the top. ``Two-thirds of my classmates have gone to the...

Mount Kinka Observatory

Observation deck

👍👍 Mt. Kinka, the symbol of Gifu City. Old name Inabayama. Gifu Castle stands at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 329m. The altitude is 329m, but since it is several tens of meters above sea level, the relative height is over 300m. You can easily climb up the mountain using the ropeway, but if...

猿啄城展望台

Observation deck

👍👍 登り口の駐車場に１台の車を置いて、もう１台で迫間不動の駐車場に移動。そこから明王山に向けて登りました。明王山から尾根道を縦走して猿啄城跡へ向かいました。尾根道は比較的快適で３０～４０分で到着。展望台からの眺めは絶景でした。（景色だけなら明王山の方が良かった？）下りは慎重におり４０分ほどで降りました。...

Dodogamine Summit Lookout Point

Observation deck

👍👍 Momogamine in Gifu is a relatively easy mountain climbing course with well-maintained trails. Well, even though the difficulty level is low, the walking distance is long and the slope is getting steeper ^^; There seem to be several routes to get to the top, but since this was my first time, I took t...

金華山ドライブウェイ

Tourist attraction

👍👍 It's free to pass, but the road is winding and not very wide. I think big cars are tough. Two-wheelers are allowed, but the road surface is not that good (^^; I don't think it would be fun. There are a lot of pedestrians and bicycles. On weekends and holidays, the road from the ropeway side to the S...

Suidoyama Observation Deck

Observation deck

👍 The summit of Mt. Suido, which I visited for the first time in 37 years. At that time, there were facilities such as amusement parks, planetariums, and haunted houses. There was also a romance lift that took you there from the foot of the mountain. And there was me, a college student who was workin...

Ōtani Skyline Nomurayama Observation Deck

Observation deck

👍 2023.08.12 This is my first visit to take photos of the Neo River fireworks. Scheduled to start at 19:30, we arrived at the venue at 16:30. There are several places on the road where you can't pass each other, and there are hairpin curves, but if you've been on the old mountain pass road, you'll pro...

Ogura Park

Park

😠 The park is nice, but I was upset by the “zoo” by the playground. Never have a seen such a sorry sight. Poor animals! Ducks living on concrete floors with a tiny pond and space smaller than a tiny bedroom. Monkeys have 1 tyre to play with - concrete walls and floors. So sad!
