    An observatory built on Mt. Sokuryo in Muroran City. From the mountain top 200 meters above sea level, you can enjoy the Port of Muroran nightscape, including the Hakucho-ohashi Bridge. The 360 degree panorama of the surrounding area includes such highlights as the Mt. Showa-shinzan lava dome, Mt. Usuzan, and Mt. Yoteizan. The night view from the mountain is considered beautiful in all directions and has been chosen as one of the eight most beautiful views in Muroran, as one of Japan's night view heritages, and as one of the 100 most beautiful night views in the country, among other honors. The steps leading to the observatory are lit up at night, ensuring visitors can make their way up and down the mountain in safety even when it's dark out.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
