Sky and Sea View Park

The Sky and Sea View Park is little more than a concrete tower on a hilltop on the Muroto Peninsula. It stands high above Kōnomine-ji Temple and Kōnomine Shrine atop a mountain 570 m high. The tower is a further 28 m. A spiral metal staircase gives access to the viewing platform.

The view from here is breath-taking, encompassing the whole of southern Shikoku. On a clear day you can see south to the tip of the Muroto Peninsula, west across the vast Tosa Bay to Ashizuri, and north to the snow-capped Shikoku Mountains.

You can access the park on foot and by car from Kōnomine-ji Temple. Apart from the tower, there’s a public toilet and rest hut. It barely merits the name ‘park’, but the view more than makes up for any other lack.
