I would recommend coming here during winter to enjoy the sunset view of the Yokohama Skyline with Mt Fuji. It’s very beautiful! But it can be a bit windy.

This would be an interesting rest point/toilet break if you are driving up Route 58 towards Nakijin Castle or Churaumi Aquarium or on your return trip. It is open from 08:30 to 19:00 and parking is free. Lunch available includes garlic steak on hotplate and Okinawa taco rice. There are also may stalls selling interesting Okinawa snacks/delicacies/ice-cream which you should try. There is also a supermarket where you can shop for souvenirs and local products and also a counter inside where you can buy discounted tickets for places of interest (eg. Adult ticket for Aquarium at 1,600 yen instead of 1,850 and Nakijin Castle Remains at 320 yen instead of 400). These tickets allow you direct entry at these places and can be used on any day within the validity period.
