About This Location

This unnamed photography spot in Otake’s coastal industrial district offers close views of the illuminated factories around the border of Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures.

Across the Oze River, visitors can see the towers, pipes and bright industrial lights of the ENEOS Marifu Refinery in Waki. The nearby Daicel Otake Factory provides another impressive factory nightscape, with its densely packed steel structures taking on a futuristic appearance after dark.

This is not a developed observation deck or tourist facility. The appeal lies almost entirely in the industrial scenery at night, so there is little reason to visit during the daytime. A standard or moderate telephoto lens is useful for isolating individual towers and structures, while a wide-angle lens can capture the wider industrial landscape.

There is no dedicated parking for the viewpoint. Do not block the road, touch factory fences, enter company or recycling-center property, or set up a tripod where it may interfere with traffic. Otake City officially promotes several factory-nightscape locations in the area but asks photographers to obey traffic rules and ensure the safety of those around them.
