Last update :

355m-tall Mt. Kanpu is located at the back of Oga Peninsula. On top of the mountain, there is Mt. Kanpu Revolving Lookout. Elevation is not that high, but nothing blocks the view at that great scenic place.

Inside, there are a restaurant, souvenir shop, and a display hall on each floor about Wakimoto Castle to the south and its history, Oga Peninsula / Ogata Geo Park, Mt. Kanpu’s plants, etc.

The 4th floor has the revolving lookout, which rotates once in every 13 minutes. You can take in Ojika Peninsula, Ogata Village, Mt. Shirakami, Mt. Taihei, Mt. Chokai, and Cape Nyudo in a sweeping look. At the foot of Mt. Kanpu, there are three craters and a tunnel created by lava, showing that it used to be a volcano.

Highlights

  • Scenic view over Oga Peninsula and Japan Sea.
  • A 360-degree panorama.
  • Surrounded by a fresh green lawn.
  • There is no bus service. Take a rental car or taxi.
