The Yokoyama observation area offers views over the Ago Bay. There are several observation decks connected by a promenade, and take-out food can be purchased at the Tenku Cafe Terrace rest area. The surrounding area is rich in nature and a recommended hiking spot.

Definitely a must visit location in Shirakawa-go. It's about 30 minutes hike and provides a brilliant birds eye view of entire town. Plus there's ice-cream at the top.

We stayed at the Nipphondaira Hotel, and we came across this Terrace while wondering about. It was a cloudy and rainy-like summer, so like in the hotel, no Mt. Fuji in view. However, the architecture itself is beautiful and tranquil in its own way, fitting right into the environment.
5. Nagoya TV Tower
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 891 reviews
Nagoya TV Tower was constructed as part of a Nagoya City urban planning project to enable the broadcast of tourism information and television signals. It was designed with disaster prevention and urban scenery in mind by Waseda University Professor Tachu Naito, who later designed Sapporo TV Tower and Tokyo Tower. The Nagoya tower was built by a shipbuilding company by Kobe, Japan using approximately 1,000 tons of steel materials. Construction began September 29, 1953 and took approximately eight and a half months to reach completion on June 19, 1954. Today, Nagoya TV Tower is the premier landmark of Nagoya. It was registered as a Tangible Culture Property of Japan in 2005.

A came for Nagoya Matsuri Festival, so the city might have been brighter and more alive than normal. Hisaya Odori Park (where the tower is located) was full of live music, food vendors and other events, which is hopefully also a normal part of the appeal and attraction of the area. To be honest, I've been to towers in several countries, and they've cost anywhere from $20 USD to $30 USD on average, I once considered $15 USD a great deal, so realizing the cost was just 700 Yen (roughly $7 USD), this was a bargain--you just pay at a vending machine, and give them your ticket--then you're sent on an elevator to the top. You're taken 90-meters up (29.5 stories up), with an addtional 100-meter balcony view (for free, 32.8 stories up). It does have the basic amenities: sweeping view of the city, vending machines for special coins. Although, they didn't seem to have a merchandise, gift shop or small restaurant at the top--since it is a TV tower. There are informational areas telling you what you're looking at. And there is a lot of seating, which also surprised me. Back-lighting behind the glass does remain an issue at night--I always advise people getting sunset or night shots for a more spectacular photo. The glass panels make a good place to press your camera or phone against for stability, stopping blur from low-light photos. With the back-light from panels on the wall, you do get reflections off the glass, which are sometimes visible in your photos. But there are enough windows to try and avoid this, but some windows are nearly impossible to avoid interior light at night. The 100-meter balcony is an added benefit, just one staircase away, since this amenity usually costs more just to see. There are no walls or windows, so it's like a cage with the wind and weather pushing through. In cooler months, this breezy spot can be freezing so keep warm. Because it's such a great deal, it's a good options to make time and just visit if you're in the area. There's Oasis 21 nearby, which is a tourist destination at times; Don Quijote is also located a few blocks away. Overall, it's a very central location, along the train line--Hisaya Odori Station is nearby, taking you to Nagoya Station and beyond.
