Tower of Beauty

It is a 6m-high tower made of Teppei stone [Teppe-iseki] from Migahara, and is a symbolic presence of the Migahara Kogen. It is a great shooting point on the way to hike. It was built in 1954 as a fog bell tower for climbers, and played the role of a signpost by ringing bells on foggy days. The current tower was rebuilt in 1984. Embedded on the wall is a relief by Shunichi Yamamoto, a pioneer of the Migahara Kogen, and on the front side is a verse of the poem "Migabara Kogen Lava Plateau", which was chanted by Kihachi Ozaki.

Salt place

In one corner of the Migahara Ranch, there is a rock that is recessed like a plate at the top. A place that has been used since ancient times to give salt to cattle and horses. The cows kept licking the salt placed on the rock every day, so the top of the rock was worn down.
