• Related見地けんちWrittenWritten style: the standpoint you argue or judge from (「教育的見地から」), usually in the pattern 「～の見地から」. It names where you stand, not the view itself.
• Related立場たちばNeutralOne's position or situation, and by extension the view held from it (「立場が違う」). The focus is on where you stand, not the view itself.

For a formal, considered view on an issue, use 「見解」. In everyday talk, 「意見」 and 「考え」 are the natural choices. To speak of the angle you look from, use 「視点」 or 「観点」; for your position or basic attitude, 「立場」 or 「スタンス」; and when you press your own view, 「主張」. The rest are narrower: observation-based 「所見」, emotional 「所感」, and the ceremonial 「所存」.
