My Experience
Saturday, March 1st, 2:00 PM
After taking the lift, I arrived at the summit to find Café 321, a stylish café surrounded by a wooden promenade with 360° views. It felt like being in the middle of the sky and sea. The café has a one-drink minimum, meaning you must order at least one drink to relax there. Outside, there’s a wooden deck observation platform where you can enjoy the view. While the grass was brown in winter, I plan to visit again in warmer months to see it in full bloom.
Also, don’t forget to visit Komuro Shrine Okumiya, a small, cute shrine located at the summit. It’s a perfect spot for a moment of reflection and connection with nature.
