Hoso-oka Observatory and Visitor’s Lounge

The scenery from Hoso-Oka Observatory is truly wondrous! The Kushiro River curves magnificently through the land, backed by silhouettes of Mt Meakan-dake and Mt Oakan-dake. The observatory is located about 20 minutes on foot from JR Kushiro Shitsugen Station. This is also a popular spot to observe the sunset. The adjacent Hoso-Oka Visitor's Lounge includes a photo gallery, cafe, and comfortable sofas, perfect for a break from your travels.
