Mt.Kanpu Rotating Observatory
Since it opened in 1964, it has been well known to many people.
The Observatory has a souvenir shop and a restaurant on the first floor, an exhibition hall on the second floor where you can see photos from the reclamation of the Hachiro Lagoon, and a reference room on the third floor where you can see specimens and artifacts related to the history, nature and geography of the Oga Peninsula. A popular spot on the 4th floor is the rotating observatory, which rotates for about 13 minutes.
You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Oogata Village, Mount Chokai, and Iridozaki.
The great panorama that Masumi Sugae, a traveler of the Edo period who visited Oga, praised as "the best of three thousand mankoes in the world".
There are no elevators in the building by spiral staircase.
