The birds' eye-view of the community by the sea from the observatory

Passing by the Kanuki Beach on the way to the View-O

Thou shall not ignore the tiny things that also contribute to the beauty of the place. AMEN!

Greeting the late afternoon sun

Looking down at a small group of tourist enjoying their picnic below us

Another angle of the seaside community from the observatory

With only a 100-yen (per adult) and 50-yen (per child) entrance fee, we enjoyed the astounding colors of sunset as it created a silhouette on Mt. Fuji and brought a magical feeling against the glistening diamond-like waters of Suruga Bay.

From the 30-meter-high observatory view, we enjoyed the panoramic view of the seaside community and the Numazu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The View-O Water Gate in Numazu Port was designed to protect the seaside community and prevent tsunami.
