First Sunrise (Nobutaka Ikoma Skyline)

Event Overview

Nobu Ikoma Skyline, which is famous for its beautiful night view, has its first sunrise spot. Especially popular are the observation decks with ringing bells, which can overlook the Nara basin. Normally, you can only travel between 6:30 and 23:00, but you can do so between 23:00 on December 31 and 23:00 on January 1. The first sunrise rises from the Yamato Kogen area. Because the skyline is an automobile-only road, if you are on foot, a view from the Ikoma Sanjo amusement park parking lot (1000 yen) is recommended.
