About this event
This event celebrates the New Year by watching the first sunrise from Mt. Shiude (Shiude-yama) in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture. From the summit of Mt. Shiude, the highest peak on the Shonai Peninsula, you can view the first sunrise along with a panoramic view of the scenic islands of the Seto Inland Sea and the Sanuki Plain. The turnout is typically around 200 people each year. It gets extremely crowded in the early morning of New Year's Day, and because there are no traffic directors on site, visitors must attend at their own risk. Mt. Shiude is designated as a national park, so open fires are strictly prohibited across the entire mountain area. Using barbecues or gas burners at the summit and the summit parking lot is prohibited. Sunrise is around 7:10 AM. Mt. Shiude Parking Lot 2 is the recommended viewing spot. Parking is free.
