Roadside Station Tanabe City Ryujin Gomasan Sky Tower

This roadside station is half-way along National Route 371, the Koya-Ryujin Skyline. It provides access for climbing nearby Mt. Gomadan and Mt. Ryujin, and the colorful autumn leaves of November aren't to be missed. As you might guess from the facility's name, it has a lookout tower. Thirty-three meters tall, it resembles the stacks of wood used in the Goma fire rituals of esoteric Japanese Buddhism. There's a great view of the nearby mountains and the ocean, and it's the perfect spot for taking in the night sky, too. Shiitake-bushi made of shavings from local shiitake mushrooms comes recommended as a souvenir. The restaurant features fare made from ingredients produced in Ryujin Village.
