“End of village ”

Jul 2019

This observatory is located at the end of Magome village. From this place, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Central Alps.

“Just wow”

Dec 2018

You can see the mountain range making up the Kiso Valley of which Magome is a part. There are several Japanese signboard which I don’t understand but makes for good photo opportunity. Must come.

It's a wonderful view of Mt. Ena, the southern end of the Central Alps, and the ridge slowly descending.

As we walked from Tsumago, we came across a guide map of Magome, the Jippensha Ikku Monument, and the impressive Togenomito Shotoku Monument. After this, we came across a watermill and other buildings, before arriving at this observation deck. It was surprising to learn that the Battle of Komaki Nagakute took place here. The Tokugawa clans of Suganuma, Hoshina, and Suwa set up camp here, so it looks like a good place to set up camp, and so it got its name. The view is excellent, with low mountains stretching out from Magome towards Nakatsugawa, and the scenery is simply beautiful. I've heard that the sunsets are nice here, so next time I'd like to come and see one.

Scenic view

Apr 2017 • Couples

We started up here before walking down to Magome-juku. It is a short walk up the street and here you get a very scenic view of Mount Edna and Magome-juku.

Viewpoint at the top of Magome

Mar 2016 • Solo

Just an open area at the top of the hill on the Magome main street (where it heads out of Magome towards Tsumago). Good views over some valleys to Mt Ena. You'll see it whether you're walking the trail or just walking to the end of Magome.
