About this spot

A nature park representative of Higashikawa-cho, where you can view Mt. Taisetsu from an observation deck standing on a birch-covered hill. The park is equipped with facilities such as a campground and log cabins, letting families relax and enjoy nature. The view from the observation deck is a spectacular one that captures the clear air characteristic of Higashikawa-cho, and it's also a popular spot with photography enthusiasts. Move your body freely until evening to get ready for the fireworks at night.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Sentopiua. There's a gentle slope up to the observation deck, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Boating has set operating hours, so stop by early if you'd like to use it. Insects increase in the evening, so take insect-repellent measures.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 30 minutes. As evening approaches, the sunlight softens and the view from the observation deck becomes more pleasant.
