A 15-minute walk from JR Kanita Station. This landmark tower was erected in 1996. The glass-walled tower faces Kanranzan Park Beach and, after climbing 108 spiral steps, visitors can enjoy a sweeping view of Mutsu Bay from the tower's observation deck. On the first floor, visitors will wind a local specialty products corner where they can buy local products and specialties from the Tsugaru-Shimokita area; as well as an embarkation platform for a ferry crossing Mutsu Bay. A mini restaurant on the second floor serves Chinese cuisine, and here visitors can enjoy a relaxing meal along with a view of Mutsu Bay and the Shimokita Peninsula.
