Recommended Places to Experience Kanonji
Takaya Shrine — the “Torii Gate in the Sky”
A steep three-minute walk from the parking area leads to a spectacular torii gate. Set against the blue Seto Inland Sea, it appears to float in the sky—hence its popular nickname, the “Torii Gate in the Sky.” Visit during the day for expansive sea views or around sunset for a more dramatic scene.

Unpenji Summit Park — the “Swing in the Sky”
Located at an elevation of 920 meters, Unpenji Summit Park is reached by a scenic seven-minute ropeway ride. From the park, you can look out over the Mitoyo Plain and the Seto Inland Sea; on clear days, the Seto Ohashi Bridge and parts of Okayama and Hiroshima are also visible.
The park has several photogenic installations. Its best-known attraction is the exhilarating “Swing in the Sky,” which feels as though you are playing above the clouds. Take time to relax where the sky and sea seem to meet.

Zenigata Sand Sculpture at Kotohiki Park
Kotohiki Park covers approximately 48 hectares along Ariake Beach and is known for its groves of Japanese black pine. In the center of the park is a giant sand sculpture shaped like a Kan’ei Tsūhō coin, a form of currency used during the Edo period.
The sculpture measures about 122 meters east to west and 90 meters north to south, with a circumference of 345 meters. Legend says it was created overnight in 1633 to welcome the local lord. Entry onto the sculpture is prohibited, but it appears as a perfect circle when viewed from the hilltop observation deck.
