About this event
Located in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture at an elevation of 1,048 meters, the Nasu Highland Observatory is a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Nasu Mountain Range behind and the Nasu Highlands below. Renowned for its beautiful sunsets and night views, it has also been designated as a 'Lover's Sanctuary.' On New Year's Day, the first sunrise of the year rising over the distant ridgeline beautifully tints the Nasu Highlands, creating a romantic atmosphere. The first sunrise seen through the heart-shaped monument is especially popular among couples and photography enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful phenomenon of 'alpenglow (morgenrot)' tinting the landscape red. Admission is free.
