Tsubetsu Pass Observatory Facility

This observation deck is positioned at an altitude of 947 meters on the pass between Tsubetsu Town and Teshikaga Town. From here you can see Lake Kussharo down below and the Shiretoko Mountains in the distance. If the weather conditions are right, sometime between the months of June and October you can witness a sea of cloud completely cover Lake Kussharo. Watching the sun rise from out of this sea of white cloud is an unbelievable sight.
