    This observatory is located approximately a 20-minute drive from Susami-minami Interchange. It is situated inside Kushimoto Underwater Park, and there is a free shuttle bus that runs from the JR Kushimoto Station. As the name suggests, visitors can use the observatory to look underwater from above ground.

In addition to the table corals, there are also around 270 species of fish, including schools of Largescale Blackfish, which can be observed here.

    Wakayama Pref. Higashimurogunkushimotochou Oshima
    An observatory situated on Mt. Kana on the northern side of the island of Kii Oshima. Positioned 90 meters above sea level, the observatory offers a sweeping view of Kushimoto Town, Cape Shionomisaki, and, above all, the picturesque Hashiguiiwa Rocks on the opposite shore. On clear days, visitors can even see all the way to Mt. Nachi and Oshima Port. The roughly one-kilometer long trail leading from the base of the mountain to the observatory has no steep inclines; meanwhile, subtropical vegetation grows lushly along the trail. The observatory has benches and is a popular destination for those looking to enjoy a little mountain hiking.
