Amanohashidate Kasamatsu Park
Located in a park halfway up Mount Narai, this observation deck offers a panoramic view of Amanohashidate from the north.
The view from here is called “Shoryukan” because Amanohashidate resembles a rising dragon.
It is also famous as the birthplace of “Mata-nozoki,” a tradition where looking at Amanohashidate through one’s legs makes it appear as if the world has been turned upside down.
