Takaiwa Observatory - Hachinohe

I stopped by when I planned to go through the sea breeze trail on my trip. I was impressed by the Japanese scenery of pine trees and the coastline.

Compared to Ashizaki, it is not famous, but it also has good views. There are quite a few stairs. Be careful when visiting because there is no parking lot nearby ...!

Go up the steep stairs from the observatory The view overlooking is very good. There is no parking lot nearby I'm a little disappointed.

Although it is less well known than the nearby Ashigezaki Observatory, the view overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is superb. You can see it through the city center, the scenic prefectural road No. 1 that runs along the sea, and the Tanesashi coast. If there is a signboard on the side of the road and a small mountain with trees that suddenly appears, it is definitely it. After passing through the entrance, you will see a pine forest, then you will see a torii gate, and then you will walk through a dense thicket. By the time you climb up the stone steps buried in the moist fallen leaves, the sunlight gradually shines in and the observatory is finally visible. From the observatory, you can see the lush sea and dark green trees in front, and the village of Okuki district on the right side. The observatory has a guide board in the center and on the left side of the observatory, and there is also a shrine of Takaiwa Shrine. It's also fun when you get off. As soon as you get off the observatory, you will pass through the dim trees filled with the scent of deep thickets, and when you pass through the red and brown torii gates, you will finally see a beautiful paved road in front of you. I would like you to experience this feeling of getting lost in a different dimension in an instant. Please consider it when you visit Hachinohe. And if you are a first-time citizen, please consider it. The only complaint is that there is no parking nearby. The road in front is not wide, so if you don't stay long, you may stop at a nearby green space. Or, it is connected by the Sanriku Michinoku Trail from Tanesashi Coast, so please take advantage of it. If possible, I would like to recommend it in the summer.

Climb the stairs to the observatory. So it's difficult to get to the observatory with a wheelchair ♿️. The view is good, but there is no parking lot. I want maintenance ✌️

Ashigezaki is also good, Personally, I like this view. I like the collaboration between private houses and the ocean! ❣
