Hiranodai Highland Viewing Platform (Lovers Hill)
"This observatory is located a 10-minute drive from Kurokawa Onsen. From here visitors can get a sweeping view which stretches from Seiryu-no-mori to the five peaks of Mt. Aso. The observatory's sprawling panoramic view encompasses the Kuju Mountain Range to the east and Mt. Aso to the south, and, if you come here early in the morning and are lucky, you might just get to see the area's famous ""sea of clouds."" The observatory has been designated a Lover's Sanctuary, and it is said that couples who ring the observatory's bell make a vow of everlasting love. The observatory is also little-affected by city lights and the area's skies are clear, and at night it becomes a popular photography spot from which you can see star-filled skies."
