The Kannon-yama Observation Deck is located on the slope of the Yamato Plateau, offering a magnificent view of the famous peaks in Nara Prefecture, from the Suzuka Range to the Ōmine Mountains and Mount Katsuragi. At the top, you can immerse yourself in the contrast of the blue sky, lush greenery, and distant mountains in the 360-degree panoramic view.
It is recommended to walk from the Meimei Ranch along the well-maintained walking trail to the observation deck. With scattered giant rocks and some ups and downs, it is sure to be a refreshing experience. You can enjoy a hike of about 1 hour.
At the top, there is a grassy area and benches, where you can have a picnic and enjoy the view along with your meal. The view and the meal after sweating it out are truly special. Before you visit, it's also a good idea to prepare a homemade bento with your favorite ingredients.
Saying something like, "We went through the Meimei Ranch to get to this observation deck, so the view is 'Meimeiful'," while savoring the panoramic scenery is also a fun idea.
