Beautiful Autumn Night Views

The crisp beautiful Autumn air also brings spectacular autumn views. The night views from Rokkosan and Mayasan are also especially clear and beautiful during this time of year.

The Rokko Maya Tourism Promotion Council has produced a “Mt. Rokko ☆ Mt. Maya Night View Guide Map” that details the many wonderful places that these incredible night views can be seen from. This pamphlet can be picked up at the Cable stations as well as here at the Mt. Rokko Guide House.

These include:
– Niji no Eki Station: Elevation approximately 451m
– Mt. Maya Kikuseidai Viewpoint: Elevation approximately 690m
– Hotel de Maya: Elevation approximately 700m
– Mt. Maya Tenjo-ji Temple: Elevation approximately 715m
– Mt. Rokko Tenran Observatory: Elevation approximately 737m
– Rokko Garden Terrace: Elevation approximately 880m
– Rokko-Shidare Observatory: Elevation approximately 888m

So come up to to Rokkosan in the evening, and weather permitting, you can enjoy a fantastic Night View.

Rokkosan Historical Transportation Information

For coming up for the views the two main ways to get here are the Rokko Cable Car and the Maya Viewline. From the back side, coming from Arima, there is the Rokko-Arima Ropeway.

For those interested in a bit of history about the two, these are two very nice sites with historical information in English:
