The Zatou-Korobashi Observatory, located along National Route 289 en route to Shin-Kashi Onsen, offers panoramic views of the Yui-ga-hara area in the Kashi Highlands. This roadside stop provides a refreshing break with scenic vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys. While there are no restrooms or shops, the observatory features a spacious parking area and wooden benches, making it an ideal spot for a quick rest during your drive. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful foliage in the fall and the cool breeze during the summer. It's easily accessible by car, approximately 20 minutes from both Shin-Shirakawa Station (JR Tohoku Shinkansen) and the Shirakawa Interchange (Tohoku Expressway).
