Visit the Kamegamori Mountain Observatory to enjoy the most beautiful strait sunset

In Japan, almost every mountain has an observatory where you can shoot the sunset. Japanese people seem to be obsessed with the sunset, and so am I. After watching the whirlpool on the tide-watching boat in the afternoon, we went straight to the Kamegamori Mountain Observatory to wait for the sunset. The Kamegamori Mountain Observatory is located at the top of Kamegamori Mountain at the southern end of Oshima, with an altitude of 307.8 meters. The design of the observatory is ingenious, with the lower half buried underground, perfectly integrated with the landscape, where you can enjoy the world's first triple suspension bridge - the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, and also overlook the Ishizuchi Mountain. In order not to disturb the experience of tourists, many scenic spots and observatories in Japan do not allow the use of tripods for shooting, but the Kamegamori Mountain Observatory does, and there are few tourists in this season. Arriving 30 minutes before sunset, you can occupy the best shooting position. In winter, the sun sets in the west and south at about 25 degrees, and you can see the sun slowly sinking into the sea. You need to use a wide angle to frame the sunset and the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge together; in summer, the sun sets in the west and north at about 25 degrees, and the sun crosses the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge and sinks into the sea. You can use a medium telephoto to highlight the 'interaction' between the sunset and the bridge. Shooting a time-lapse of the sunset from day to night can fully record this wonderful moment. The Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge connects the scattered islands in the distance, the sunset glow reddens the skyline, and the last touch of red leaves in late autumn is still stubborn. The sun gradually sinks into the sea, the sky gradually darkens, the Seto Inland Sea is calm and beautiful, what a healing moment! Looking forward to the next visit to Ehime, not alone to enjoy the sunset, I hope to have the company of my family, to feel the warm and peaceful Ehime together.
