高森眺望台 - Nikaho

The scenery is good

The view is good

The setting sun setting in the sea is the best.

The unique scenery of Kisakata, Nikaho City, the islands floating in the rice fields. It is called "Kujukushima". Have you ever seen a landscape similar to this one? Islands floating in the sea, not rice fields ... Yes, Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture! Although there is a difference between paddy fields and the sea, it is a scenic spot called "Matsushima in the west and Kisakata in the east". Both Kisakata and Matsushima are terrain created by uplift caused by the earthquake. By the way, Kisakata has about 103 islands. The place where I took this landscape photograph is "Takamori Observatory", which is an observatory on the way to Hanadate Ranch in Yurihonjo City. If you enter the side road using this information board as a landmark, you will find it along the road. There is a Takamori observatory along the side street. A parking lot, Azumaya, a fall prevention fence, etc. were installed, and it was beautifully maintained (* ^^ *) There are a lot of clouds, but it's sunny and comfortable, and the breeze is refreshing (# ^. ^ #) Actually, I wanted to see the islands floating in the water mirror before planting rice, but at that time it was raining a lot and the timing to visit was not right ... (-_-;) That photo is an issue for next year. Mt. Chokai was visible until the way to the observatory, but the clouds were swept away by the strong wind, and when we arrived at the observatory, the mountaintop was in the clouds (^ _ ^;) You can look down on Kujukushima and Mt. Chokai. It's sober, but it's a nice recommended spot (* ´ 艸 ｀)
