Mount Maya is another romantic dating spot in Kobe with stunning panoramic views of twin cities Kobe and Osaka. Being one of the top three night view spots in Japan, it's also called 'The Ten Million Dollar Night View', which refers to the high cost necessary to maintain the number of lights lit-up in the two cities. Apart from panoramic views, the spot is also popular in summer to view the fireworks of Akashi or Rokko Island.
