How do I reach the West Observatory used in this Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo scene?

Go to Sumaura-Koen Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway, walk a few minutes to the Sumaura Ropeway entrance, and ride up into Sumaura Sanjo Amusement Park. The observatory is inside the hilltop park area rather than directly beside the station.

Can I freely take photos at the West Observatory?

Yes, casual photography is generally allowed for personal visits, but avoid blocking walkways or disturbing other visitors. If you plan tripod-heavy or commercial-style shooting, check the park's current rules before going.

Is the park always open for anime pilgrimage visits?

No, access depends on the operating days and hours of the ropeway and hilltop facilities, which can vary by season, weather, and maintenance. Always confirm the latest schedule on the official Sumaura Sanjo Amusement Park website before your trip.

A scenic overlook frame captures the broad seaside view from the hilltop observatory, emphasizing a calm and introspective turning point.
This moment takes place at a hilltop observatory with a wide-open view, where the composition of looking out over the sea and city creates a quiet atmosphere of sorting out one’s feelings. The character is likely in a stage where emotions are deepening but still mixed with hesitation and anxiety, so even though the scene is bright, it carries a faint sense of sadness and hope. Standing in a place that overlooks the entire landscape, the characters often become more honest about their emotions before and after this moment, making it an important turning point in their relationship. The real-world model is the West Observatory at Sumaura Sanjo Amusement Park, and the overall topography and viewpoint are reproduced quite accurately, especially the elevated view of the coastline, city, and layered sky. Railings, pathways, and the observatory area may have been renovated over time, so some fine lines and colors differ from the anime, and the anime also tends to simplify safety barriers, signs, and visitor flow to keep the frame clean. Even so, the openness of the real site and the depth of the sea view still make it instantly recognizable as the scene’s inspiration.
