Shikokuchuo, Ehime / 具定展望台
Gujo Observatory
An observatory looking at once over Shikokuchuo, home to Japan's largest paper-mill district, and the Seto Inland Sea, one of the biggest night-view spots in Shikoku and certified as a Japan Night View Heritage. At night the lights of the factories and ships become an illumination; the orange observatory, unchanged in shape for 50 years, is lit up in orange at night.
