Nature / scenery Snow activity

Kunimigaoka, in Miyazaki prefecture’s town of Takachiho, is a 513-meter high hill with amazing views. From the hill, you can see the sea of clouds phenomenon. The sea of clouds can be seen from autumn to early winter on clear days with little to no winds. From the Kunimigaoka observatory, you can see Mount Aso peaks and Takachiho Valley. Even without the sea of clouds, the view from the hill is spectacular, especially at sunrise.
