Panoramic Views of the Izu Islands and Mt. Fuji
Located on the northeastern part of Shikinejima, Kanbiki Observatory offers the highest vantage point on the island (99m elevation).
From its well-maintained deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of Shikinejima's intricate coastline.
On clear days, the view is truly spectacular, stretching as far as the Izu Peninsula and the iconic Mt. Fuji.
This stunning scenery, especially at sunrise and sunset, has earned it a spot in the "New Tokyo 100 Views," a selection of the capital's most scenic locations.
The journey to the observatory is part of the experience.
A paved walking path makes it accessible on foot, offering a pleasant, gentle hike where you can enjoy the surrounding nature and the sound of birdsong along the way.
