Perched high on one of Japan's prized viewpoints, Rokko Shidare Observatory opens up a world of visual wonders. From here, you can trace the vast landscapes from Awaji Island, across the sprawling Osaka Plain, to the distant lights of Kansai International Airport. It's more than just a feast for the eyes; it's a journey through nature's ever-changing dance. In the warm embrace of summer, the observatory lets you savor the touch of a gentle breeze enhanced by natural ice. And when winter rolls around, you'll marvel at the dome's enchanting frame, which gets gracefully covered in a layer of frost.

Yet, the real magic begins when the sun sets. Mt. Rokko comes alive in a symphony of lights, showcasing the "Lightscape in Rokko." It's an artful display that captures the essence of the mountain through different seasons, set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the city's night sky. If you've ever wanted to witness the perfect blend of nature's grandeur and artistic brilliance, this is your chance. Don't miss out on this unique experience. Book your visit to Rokko Shidare Observatory today and step into a world where nature meets artistry.

OK to go
Its a special structure and has some design background to it. We went in the day and night since at night it lit up. The night was cold and very windy and lucky we were all geared up. The interior is not particularly special and you don't have to be up to see the night view. There is a charge to enter so decide for yourself if it's worth.
