Hachimaki Observatory/鉢巻山 展望台

Hachimaki Observatory is a scenic viewpoint located on the slopes of Mount Noro in Kure, Hiroshima. It offers beautiful views over the Seto Inland Sea and its many islands.

This is an easy viewpoint to visit by car. There is a free parking area near the observatory, and you only need to walk a very short distance from the parking area to reach the viewpoint.

Unlike many scenic spots in the Setouchi area that require hiking, Hachimaki Observatory is a good choice for photographers who want to enjoy a wide view of the islands without a long walk.

The winding mountain road leading to the observatory is also enjoyable to drive, making this a good stop for a road trip around the Kure and Noro Mountain area.

野呂山の中腹にある展望台で、瀬戸内海に浮かぶ島々を一望できる絶景スポットです。

車でアクセスしやすく、展望台の近くには無料駐車場があります。駐車場から展望台まではほとんど歩く必要がないため、気軽に景色を楽しむことができます。

瀬戸内海の景色を楽しめる場所には、山道を歩いて登る必要がある場所も多いですが、ここは長いハイキングをせずに多島美を撮影できるのが大きな魅力です。

野呂山へ向かうワインディングロードも楽しめるため、呉や野呂山周辺を車で巡る際の立ち寄りスポットとしてもおすすめです。
