About this event
This event offers the chance to watch the first sunrise from Shihoyubi Observatory in Tonosho Town, Kagawa Prefecture. Located on Shodoshima's only highland at an elevation of 777 meters, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view. Below lies the scenic beauty of Kankakei Gorge and Uchinomi Bay, while in the distance one can see Himeji, Awaji Island, and the Shikoku mountain range. The first sunrise rising while bathing the Seto Inland Sea in bright light is exceptional, making it a popular destination for many visitors. Parking is available, but public transportation does not typically operate during the early morning hours of the first sunrise. Event details are subject to change, so please check in advance.
