With an elevation of 307.8m, Kirosan Observation Park is located at the southern end of Oshima and is in the Setonaikai National Park. Many sights can be seen from the panorama observation bridge, such as the Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridge, the world's first three-suspension-bridge series, the tidal current of the Kurushima Strait (one of Japan's three fast tidal currents), and on clear days, the far-off Mt. Ishizuchi, the tallest peak in western Japan.
In addition, with the lighting-up of the Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridge and the Imabari City nightscape, there are superb views at night, as well as day.
Kirosan Observation Park was #3 on TripAdvisor Japan's "I'm glad I went! Japan's view spots 2016" ranking and has been garnering increased attention in recent years.
