It was just a couple minutes away from the Shimanami Kaido bicycle path. Totally worth it. The view is spectacular.
Nice view but need some renovations.
I biked there from Onomichi, it’s a good spot for a good view of the bridge and around. I don’t know if it’s just me but i couldn’t find a way from the bike line so i had to climb a short barrier to get there. Also the place looks like it has been abandoned years ago with zero maintenance done.
Nice and open seaview with turned yellow and red tree leaves from the islands as the backgrounds for your lovely photos.

Nice views from the top, but the place appears abondoned and is a little sketchy.
This is a great location to get some nice views of the surrounding bridges and islands, worth the walk up
