Distant View of Nachi Bay（Nachi-wan Enbo）
那智湾遠望
Sunlight rays shining on Nachi Bay
In the middle of the Nachisan Skyline, a roadway that connects Mt. Nachisan and Mt. Myohozan, you can find the Nachisan Observatory, which has been selected as one of the “100 Best Places for the Sunrise and Sunset in Wakayama Prefecture.” Nachi Bay, which you can look over from the Observatory, constantly varies in appearance as the season, weather, and time change. * If you are visiting Myohozan Amida-ji Temple by walking the Kakenuke-michi path of the Nakehechi route, you can go to a lookout spot (called “Tsukimigahara”) in the precincts of the temple, another site from which a full view of Nachi Bay can be enjoyed.
