Hakucho Bridge Observatory
This observation tower is for overlooking the large suspension bridge, the Shiratori Ohashi, constructed at the entrance to Port Muroran. At 1380 meters, the Shiratori Ohashi is the longest suspension bridge in East Japan. The bridge has 228 induction lights. At night, the bridge shines in beautiful contour against the backdrop of the Muroran industrial belt. The observation tower is the nearest viewing area to the bridge, and provides a view of the bridge at eye level. The bridge is registered as one of Night View Heritage of Japan.
