Rokko shidare

Rokko Shidare is an observation facility on Mount Rokko with architecture that blends into the mountainous setting. The structure uses natural light and modern design to create a connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

The facility opened in 2010 and marked a new development phase for Mount Rokko. The mountain had begun its transformation into a resort destination in the late 1800s.

The place draws visitors who want to observe the mountain landscape and seasonal shifts up close. People spend time here watching the views change and noticing how the environment transforms throughout the year.

A cable car connects the facility to the base and runs regularly throughout the day. The best time to visit is on clear days when the views of the surrounding landscape are at their best.

The facility was intentionally designed so visitors directly experience wind, shifting light, and temperature changes across the seasons. This experience of natural phenomena is central to how the place is meant to be used.
