Stone direction marker remains from the Edo Period
Hiyoriyama is a 68 m mountain situated to the west side of Toba Station. Today there is an observation deck on the top of the hill, where a stone direction marker remains from the Edo Period (17th to 19th century), when Toba thrived as a stopping point for the "1,000 koku ships," and seafarers came to the hill to observe and forecast the weather at sea. The hill commands a good view of Toba Bay, visible behind the Shiawase no Kane, or "Bell of Happiness."
