Mount Sagiri Observatory, located along scenic Route 11 between Yufuin and Beppu, offers panoramic views of the Yufuin basin from an altitude of 680 meters. This popular roadside stop provides stunning seasonal vistas, including vibrant greenery in spring and summer, golden pampas grass in autumn, and snow-capped mountains in winter. On clear winter mornings, visitors may witness the mystical morning fog that gives the spot its name. With a small shop and restrooms available, it's an ideal place to pause and appreciate the beauty of Yufuin. Be sure to drive carefully on the winding mountain roads.
