Otakamori standing in the center of Miyato Island across from the bay. The Reikan Observatory on the top of the mountain offers a sweeping with of the east, south, and west sides of the bay. The Ikan Observatory in the Tamonzan area looks out over the ocean from the cliffs of Cape Yogasaki at the northern tip of Shichigahama Town. The Yukan Observatory, located in the Ogitani area (folding fan valley), so called because the inlet of Matsushima Bay resembles a folding fan as seen from mountaintop, is located on high ground behind Sokanzan.
