Night View of Mt. Rokko Tenrandai Platform

The project for the Heritage of Japanese Night Views selected this scenic view that is said to be a 10 million dollar view. This lookout commonly visited by travelers to Kobe is in the immediate vicinity of the Rokko Cable Sanjo Station. In 1981, the Emperor Showa came to this spot and commemorated it as Tenran-dai (Imperial Inspection Observation Platform). The parking lot and lookout are open free of charge 24 hours a day. On a clear day in the distance, you can see the Kansai airport and the business district of Osaka, the Akashi Strait Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world, and Awaji Island.
