    The night view from the top of Mt. Rokko is absolutely beautiful. No wonder it's called one of Japan's top three night views. With the cool evening breeze and the scenery, it's really romantic—perfect for couples.

  • Taking the cable car is so convenient! Even someone like me who doesn't enjoy hiking can easily get close to the mountain.

    The night view is absolutely gorgeous. Just a heads up—there aren't any street lights at night, so make sure to stay warm! 😐

    The view is wide open and the transportation is convenient.

  • There's a restaurant at the summit where you can sit down, have some coffee, and relax.
