Sojingaoka Observatory in Fukuyama-cho, Kirishima City is a spectacular spot with a view that only a few in the know know about!
Located on a hill about 480 meters above sea level, the observation deck offers a panoramic view of Sakurajima, the Kirishima mountain range, and Shibushi Bay.
Also, on a clear day, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the blue sky, sea, and majestic mountains.

In spring, about 6,000 azaleas planted on the mountainside bloom, and the flower characters of "Fukuyama" stand out vividly, which is impressive.
At night, these flower characters are illuminated with lights, and are so large that they can be seen from an airplane.

It is a little up the mountain path to the observation deck, but there is a promenade from the parking lot, so you can walk leisurely through nature to the observation deck.
The information boards written in the local language are also interesting and will make a memorable trip.
Come experience a memorable time at Sojingaoka, a relaxing spot that has it all: nature, history, and scenery.
