Incidentally, this "East Rokko Observation Deck" isLocation of the very popular drama "Hanzawa Naoki" broadcast on terrestrial TV in 2013.and became a hot topic for a while.

In fact, my husband has been trying to get the best shot of his car and the night view at the East Rokko Observation Deck for some time, but he has yet to get a satisfactory picture.

But, of course, you can't always see a beautiful night view. Last month, too.It was sunny at the foot of the mountain, but a look at Ashiu Driveway's twitter shows "snow"!And even if the weather is fine at the foot of the mountain, it is often covered with clouds when you go to Ashiu.

The night view is most beautiful at "The day after a heavy rain, on a clear night without a cloud in the skyIt is said that "the night view is very beautiful," but these conditions do not coincide well every time. So, living near Ashiu, it is not easy to see a clear, crisp, clear night view.

Also, even if the night view was beautiful, there were many cars coming to the observatory on such a day.（I'm sure you're right.), ,I can't park my car in the best spot, or there are too many other cars in the picture, so I end up not being able to take a picture.Sometimes.

The other day, my husband came home early from work to find

I'm going to Ashiu now. The air is clear today, so I might be able to get some beautiful pictures of the night view and the cars!

When my husband returned about an hour later, he said to me, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this.How did you do it?When I hear the word

It was bad. The night view was beautiful, but there were too many cars to take any pictures.

He said regretfully, "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do it. By the way, here is a picture I took at that time.(And the top image.)

I thought it was beautiful enough, but my husband was not satisfied at all and said he would try again. I wonder what my husband is aiming for....

To see the night view of Ashiari by 911.

Then last weekend. The day was literally cloudless blue skies and it was sunny enough to wear short sleeves, so the family decided to take the 911 to the park in the evening.

The girls ran on the beach, frolicked in the surf, and played as much as they could on the playground equipment at a nearby park. By the time they left, it was getting dark.But after coming all the way out here on 911, it would be a shame to go home like this.My husband was talking about how he was going to

I'm thinking of going to Ashiu. It's a beautiful day and there are no clouds, so we might be able to see a beautiful night view.

so I decided to head to Ashiari in a hurry. I was in the middle of aToday's the day we're going to get the best night view of Ashiu!I was driving the 911 with a lot of anticipation, but as I passed the toll booth on the Ashiyu Driveway, the wind gradually began to pick up.

The full moon had been so clearly visible earlier, but I noticed that it was completely obscured by thick clouds.

This is bad...very bad (-_-).... My husband.

See, this is what happens when I come with Mina-chan. I feel like the mountain gods are mad at me.

I've been saying that, and I'm not wrong about that...as you move up....Black clouds roll in.after having come toStrong winds whistled and whistled, ,Trees on both sides of the road are swaying tremendously.The night view was very beautiful. And by the time we reached the East Rokko Observation Deck, the night view was beginning to be slightly blurred.

...No really, why not anymore (-_-)

However, since I had come all this way, I tried to go outside and take at least one photo, but the strong and too cold wind made it impossible to even go outside.

What do we do now...? I paid 410 yen to get to the observatory... but there's no point in staying here... let's go home.

So we had to get off the mountain that day with only 2 minutes to stay. The weather gradually improved as we approached the foot of the mountain, and when we descended, it was completely clear...but why is this already happening?

But the night view of Ashiu is really beautiful, so I would like to revisit it again in the near future.
