Overview

Eska Hill Naruto is a popular spot within Naruto Park, offering spectacular views of the Naruto Strait from a height of 45 meters above ground. Its most striking feature is the escalator, boasting the longest length in Japan at 68 meters long and a vertical rise of 34 meters. Consisting of two sets of four escalators, the ride takes approximately three minutes, slowly ascending from the mountainside to the summit observation deck. The escalator's glass walls allow for enjoying the surrounding scenery during the ascent. Cherry blossoms abound in spring, and autumn brings vibrant foliage, creating beautiful seasonal landscapes. The view from the summit is truly breathtaking. The majestic Onaruto Bridge and the swirling whirlpools of the Naruto Strait stretch out before you, a sight that will surely leave you awestruck. On clear days, you might even be able to see as far as Shodoshima Island and Wakayama Prefecture. A cafe and souvenir shop are located on the observation deck, offering a chance to savor local flavors while taking in the scenery. Nature trails are also available around the observation deck for those seeking a deeper immersion in the natural beauty of the area. Eska Hill Naruto is a beloved staple of Naruto sightseeing, attracting numerous visitors.
