The Bishamonten Observatory, near the summit station of the Unpenji Ropeway in Kanonji, Kagawa, offers panoramic views and houses a 10-meter-tall Bishamonten statue, one of the largest in Japan. Admission is free, and visitors can ascend the observatory via a spiral ramp to enjoy 360-degree views of Kagawa, Tokushima, and Ehime prefectures, including the Seto Inland Sea and distant mountains. The surrounding area is known for its beautiful hydrangeas in June. It's a great spot to take in the scenery after visiting Unpenji Temple.
