Review

  • 意外なほどの遠景
    4.0 Reviewed : 2021.02.16
    標高753mの表示がありけっこう高いところに来たとは思っていました。しかしながら、大阪平野から真北に数十キロメートル進んでいましたので、まさかここから海が見えるとは思いませんでした。上手くいけば、ハワイが見えるかもしれないと思ってしまいました。
  • 大阪近郊で綺麗に星や流れ星が見える場所

    大阪近郊ではだいぶ綺麗に見えるかと思います。池田から車で50分ほど。標高が700mほどなので冬場は防寒対策が必要です。ですが大阪近郊でこんなに綺麗に見えるんだ!って思うくらい見えます。流星も確認可能でした。夏などは涼しく天の川も綺麗かと思います。

    山頂に小さいプラネタリウムがあり、寝転んでみれます。紫陽花の時期におすすめです。山頂に駐車場あります。
