The stunning and romantic night view over Kobe from Mount Maya definitely qualifies as picturesque COOL JAPAN. Known as the "10 million dollar night view", it is one of Japan's Three Great Night Views.
Located at the centre of Rokko Mountain range, the Kikuseidai observation deck almost 700 meters high offers a panoramic view of the cities of Kobe and Osaka, the Kii peninsula, Osaka Bay and the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge (the longest suspension bridge in the world).
Tenjo Temple's statue of Maya (mother of Buddha), near the summit is believed to be the origin of the mountain's name and is the venue of the "Hibutsu-Sanson Gokaicho" (Unveiling of the Secret Buddha) where a once-in-33 years ceremony will be held this year. You are bound to enjoy a hike or temple visit, but it is strongly recommended that you join a "Mount Maya & Historic Sites Guided Walk" which offers you a golden chance to see places normally not open to the public, and of course the spectacular night view.
Purchase the Rokko-Maya 1-day ticket to get cooled-off uphill!
