Enjoy live music and gorgeous scenery from the top of Mount Sarakura. The site is extremely popular with couples and has been recognized as one of the New Three Major Night Views of Japan. Cable cars run up the incline until 10 pm during weekends, national holidays, and on Christmas Day. The restaurant in the observatory will be offering special dishes from 5 pm until 8 pm (reservation required). A free shuttle bus runs from JR Yahata Station to help visitors get to the venue. There will also special nighttime bus service operating on Christmas Day. Make sure to stay until the end. A raffle will take place after the music finishes (tickets will be distributed before the acts start), so you could end up taking home a prize!
