A serene archipelago in the daytime and a jewel-like night view at night! A spectacular panoramic view that symbolizes Kure

Towering 737 meters above sea level in front of JR Kure Station, Haigamine is a solitary peak symbolizing the city of Kure. A round, white radar dome at the summit serves as a landmark. From the observation deck, the view is wide open, offering a panoramic view of shipyards lined with gigantic cranes, numerous ships passing by, and the islands floating in the Seto Inland Sea.

At night, the lights of residential areas and factories spread along the complex coastline, creating a spectacle resembling a scattering of jewels. One of the unique charms of this spot is how the lights converge to form the hiragana character for "kure," or "kure." Because it's close to the city center, another distinctive feature is the up-close view of the nightscape, weaving together the city, sea, and mountains.

On clear days, the shadows of the mountains of Shikoku emerge beyond the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. This scenic spot offers a dynamic view of Kure's cityscape, day or night.
