Encounter an unusual landscape of visual illusion at the Mystery Slope in Takamatsu. Despite appearing to be an uphill slope, it is, in fact, a downhill slope, captivating people with its mysterious allure.
The visual illusion of the Mystery Slope is caused by the shape of the slope. At points where the gradient changes, it appears visually as an uphill slope, but is actually a downhill slope. This phenomenon, known as 'vertical gradient illusion,' creates a mesmerizing and enigmatic landscape.
Many people do not notice this illusion when only looking at the road surface. Some say, 'I didn't even realize it while driving,' while others mention, 'I didn't feel anything strange.' However, once you stop and look around, you will surely be amazed by this peculiar sight.
This illusionary slope harmonizes with the natural landscape of Yashima. However, the current signboard may be a bit outdated and may not fully evoke the mysterious atmosphere. With a new signboard that accentuates the wonder of the illusion, the charm of this place will undoubtedly be enhanced.
The Mystery Slope is a rare tourist spot where you can experience an unbelievable visual surprise. Would you like to visit Takamatsu's slope to encounter this visual wonder?
