Meiji Centenial Observatory An observatory tower in the shape of a five leaf pine tree at the tip of Cape Futtsu. The observatory overlooks Tokyo Bay, and visitors can also see Mt. Fuji clearly on a clear winter day. Meiji Observatory has been selected as one of the 100 best views of Mt. Fuji in the Kanto region. It lies at the tip of the peninsula adjacent t o Futtsu National Park. It was designed as a set of interlinked platforms that look like complex weighing scales from a distance - the fact that it juts out into Tokyo Bay with only woodlands and beaches behind gives it an unobstructed view.
