Sokuryo-yama Observatory

Overview

Sokuryo-yama Observatory is an observation deck in Muroran City, Hokkaido, providing a sweeping view of the city. From its 199m elevation, a magnificent panorama unfolds. On a clear day, you can even see as far as Mount Yotei, the distant Mount Komagatake, and Esan Misaki Cape. The view of Muroran city and the Hakuchou Bridge together is truly unparalleled.
