Mt. Nariai Panoramic Overlook - Miyazu

2022.4.6西国の成相寺参拝後に行ってきました。数組の方がお見えでしたが、平日で展望喫茶は閉まってました(土日営業みたいです)。天気は良かったのですが、もやっており時々風も吹き土煙が出ましたが、西国の松尾寺のある青葉山も見えました。

朝一のお詣りは必ずご褒美があります。 あいにくの小雨でしたが、せっかく車で来れましたので、成相寺駐車場から、更に急坂を展望台まで登りました。晴れていれば日本有数の景色であることが想像出来るなぁと、しばらく眺めているうちに風が流れ、天橋立が薄雲の向こうに見えました。なんでも諦めず、やることはやってみる事を教えて頂いた様に思います。ありがっ様です。 一点、日中の訪問の場合、急坂の上すれ違いが難しいコンクリート道路なので、ご注意下さい。

最上部まで車で行けます。ただし、かなりの急傾斜とスピード抑制の段差があるので、車高を落としている車は避けた方が良いかと。 展望台付近には輪っかの中に焼き物の皿を投げ入れると、願いが叶うと言う小アトラクションがあります?➰

１月２３日、相当積雪のある中伺いました。入山に大人500円が必要。寺社の拝観料も含まれています。なおこの季節、スタッドレスタイヤは必須。なければ展望台までたどり着けません。眺望は写真の通り見事でした。

Love this place

Found this group of temples after getting lost on the way to Kasamatsu park but this offered a comparable view of Amanohashidate at an even higher elevation. Caught some late sakura in full bloom too.

Great view of Amanohashidate and Miyazu city and beyond. Perfect for awesome pictures. Spacious and relatively quiet place. There is a lovely cafe with the view. I recommend this place as a combined visit to the temple. You have to drive (or take a bus) a narrow winding mountain road for about 20-30 min to get there.

Located at 500m, even above the mountainside pilgrimage Temple Nariaiji , this overlook has, hands down, the most expansive views of the area. This area sits above both Amanohashidate Viewland and Kasamatsu Park, however it is located only by car, bus, or on foot. The 3-star rating is for the inconvenience of getting here and the fact that, though the views are more expansive than the other overlook areas, the scenery is not that much different. You can see distant mountains that you cannot otherwise see, which could make for some great photos if there happened to be snow on the peaks, but it depends on how fastidious you like to get about your sightseeing experiences. The easiest way to access this area without a car would be to take the cable car up to Kasamatsu Park, and then ride the mountain bus that is always shuttling back and forth between Kasamatsu Park and Nariaiji Temple. From there adventurous visitors may walk the rest of the way,, but there is also another bus that makes infrequent trips to the top. It's not exactly convenient, and certainly best done with a car. Even if you don't make it to this spot, visiting Nariaiji Temple a little ways below is certainly worth the effort. There is also a cafe up top at this overlook for those who need an energy boost after walking to the top (I have met people who have walked to this location all the way from Amanohashidate Station, could be a fun hiking trip with multiple cultural stops along the way).
