Sagiridai, Mountain observatory in Yufu, Japan
The Sagiridai observation point stands at 680 meters above sea level, offering views of Yufuin Basin and Mount Yufu in all directions.
The observation point gained recognition during the Meiji period when Yufu developed into a destination for travelers seeking natural sights.
The name Sagiridai, written as 狭霧台 in Japanese, refers to the thin mist that frequently appears in the valley during winter mornings.
The facility includes a parking area for ten vehicles, restrooms, and a small shop selling local products to visitors.
From this vantage point, observers can watch the seasonal transformation of fog patterns across Yufuin Basin throughout different times of year.
