Night View of Mt. Maya Kikuseidai Platform

The Mt. Maya lookout was selected as one of Japan's big three night views, and the spectacle is outstanding. The platform was named Kikusei (meaning 'scoop star') Platform because of its beautiful night view that seems to scoop the stars. An impressive night view spanning from Osaka Bay to the downtown Kobe can be seen. However, to access the view, it is necessary to walk on the side in front of the Hotel De Maya for about ten minutes. There is a walkway (50 meters long and 10 meters wide) like the "Milky Way" that is named "Kirakira Komichi (Glittering Path)." The walkway has been paved with glow-in-dark material that allows it to gather light during the day and reflect it at night to achieve a fantastic spectacle.
