Tojinbo Tower

Observation Tower

3.0

Tojinbo Tower rises to a height of 100 meters above sea level and 55 meters above the ground, giving spectacular views; its status as the only large observation tower on the Sea of Japan coast has made it very popular. From the second floor level of the Tower, visitors can view the Tojinbo Coast, with its precipitous cliffs (sculpted by the action of the Sea of Japan’s fierce waves) which extend for a length of around one kilometer, as well as Oshima Island and the Echizen Coast; looking the other way, they can see the peaks of Mt. Hakusan. Tojinbo Tower is also famous as a great place for bringing couples closer together. The Tower is located approximately 25-minute drive from the Kanazu Interchange on the Hokuriku Expressway.

東尋坊バス停から岩場へと続く通りの脇に立地。11年前にも来ているが、入場料はその時と変わらず500円。築57年なのでかなり古さを感じる。営業時間は17時までだがこの日はなぜか16時まで。チケット売り場に着いたのが16時少し前ということで残念ながら入場できず。過去の経験から言うと、東尋坊らしい眺望は期待しない方がいいでしょう。
