The vistas in natural landscape are crucial to the experience of the visitor. We attempted to clarify the characteristic recognitions of various vistas. The followings are the result of investigation. It is not only favorite or naturalness but also landscape movement, dynamism and scale, when we recognize vistas. The standards of evaluation on favorite are variety of landscape elements, broadness, movement, complexity, symbolic elements and brightness. We favor the existing conditions as follows ; various complex landscape elements, far mountains, nearclearing, symbolic elements and aqua-scape. As the characteristic consciouse recognitions, we tend to watch the complex elements, skylines and waterside lines.
