－ Spot Introduction －

• Rokko Shidare Observatory
  
  Located within the Rokko Garden Terrace area, this observatory features a
  distinctive and impressive design. Based on the concept by architect Hiroshi
  Sambuichi that 'architecture is a part of the earth,' it offers not only a
  panoramic view of Osaka and Kobe—a landscape renowned throughout Japan—but
  also provides a space where visitors can experience the natural energy of Mt.
  Rokko and the beauty of the changes brought about by its natural cycles.
