Utsukushi Tower

A tower I've never seen so much.

Original Text

There is a potun on the way to the Ogato Hotel. It is a unique shaped tower that I have never seen so much. There is a rope inside, and when you pull it, the bell rings. I think it's a building that looks a little good when taking pictures.

There is also about ６ｍ symbol of Migahara plateau!

Original Text

　A symbol of the Migahara Plateau, the tower of beauty. It is located a few minutes walk from the Yamaki hut, which is the entrance to Migahara. Migahara, which is about 2000 ｍ at an altitude, is slowly up and down, but this tower was well conspicuous even from a distance. Because the height is ６ｍ, it is larger than I imagined. Migahara was a place where there were many mists and disasters. One of the countermeasures was "Beauty ...", an evacuation tower equipped with a fog bell.

Symbol of migahara

　Migahara continues smoothly at an altitude of 2000m. The symbol of Migahara is "Tower of Beauty". From the Yamagi hut, which is also the base of the Migahara walk, I arrived at the beauty tower with a height of ６ｍ without taking １０ minutes to head to Ogato. This beautiful tower is said to be an evacuation tower equipped with a fog bell, which was created as one of the measures for the frequent distress caused by dense fog.

やっぱり、美ヶ原のシンボル的存在の「美しの塔」ですね。美しいです。 開放感あふれる美ヶ原高原牧場の一角にある「美しの塔」です。特に、夕方はとても良い感じでしたよ。 大きな夕日、全面に広がる雪化粧した高原、そしてぽつんとある「美しの塔」が良い風景を演出してくれました。 ちなみに、現在は観光的シンボルの塔としてのイメージが強いですけど、実は「避難塔」として造られたらしいです。霧が発生すると「鐘」...

美ヶ原の美しの塔を訪れたら、尾崎喜八の歌碑「美ガ原溶岩台地」も是非読んでいただきたいです。「登りついて不意にひらけた眼前の風景にしばらくは世界の天井が抜けたかと思う…。きっと美ヶ原の良い思い出になると思います。塔の中にも入れるので、窓からの景色や鐘を鳴らしてみてください。
