Hachibodai Observatory
Hachibodai is a breathtaking spot where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery from the highlands of the Oga Peninsula at an elevation of 180 meters. From this observation deck, you can overlook the Sea of Japan, Togawa Bay, and unique volcanic lakes designated as natural monuments of the country, such as Ichinomegata and Ninomegata, all the way to the direction of Aomori Prefecture.
