    Oita Yufu-shi Yufuincho Kawakami 1964-14
    "A 15-minute drive from the Yufuin Interchange on the Oita Expressway. This observatory is located at the foot of Mt. Yufu and offers a sweeping view of the Yufuin Basin from 680 meters above sea level. Situated between Yufuin and Beppu along the Yamanami Highway (Prefectural Route 11), known as one of the most scenic driving destinations in Kyushu, the observatory has a shop and toilets and thus is also a popular rest stop. Boasting fabulous seasonal views, the observatory's name literally translates to ""mist stand,"" and as this implies, mists gather in the valley below, particularly early in the morning in winter, and during this time visitors can take in the magical sight of the fog-enshrouded basin."

    狭霧台展望台にある土産物店です。数人分だけですが、イートイン可能なカウンター席あり。トイレは店外方式。先日そのトイレを借りたので、お返し的にまぐろジャーキーをお買い上げ。土産物の品揃えはそこそこ。
