— Attractions —

Kurodake Ropeway

Since its inception in 1967, the Kurodake Aerial Ropeway has transported passengers from the base of Mt. Kurodake, situated at an elevation of 670 meters at the Sounkyo Station, to the midway point of the mountain at an elevation of 1300 meters, the Kurodake Station, in just a brief 7-minute ride! From this midway station, you can take the double-seater "Kurodake Pairlift" to bridge the gap between the mountain's midsection and its summit. However, if you wish to enjoy an all-encompassing panoramic view from the summit, which stands at an elevation of 1984 meters, you'll need to continue hiking for about another 1.5 hours. Each of these stations features walking paths. Even if you don't make it all the way to the summit, in the summer, you can still appreciate the alpine vegetation and forests; during autumn, the colorful foliage is a marvelous sight to behold; and in winter, the snowscape is truly magnificent!

Ginga and Ryusei Waterfalls

Stretching along the Ishikari River for 24 kilometers is a series of cliffs. Among the several waterfalls cascading down from these cliffs, two stand out as the most beautiful. The "Ginga Waterfall" flows down like a delicate white thread, while the "Ryusei Waterfall" roars down with a powerful and majestic presence. The view from the parking lot overlooking these waterfalls has been chosen as one of Japan's top 100 most spectacular. Words can scarcely do justice to the view!

Cape Notoro

Cape Notoro offers a breathtaking view from the sheer cliffs of its coastal tip, allowing you to overlook the crystal-clear ocean. During winter, it becomes an exceptional location for observing drift ice. Flowing from Siberia to the Sea of Okhotsk along Hokkaido's coast, approximately 1000 kilometers to the north, the drift ice blankets the entire expanse. From this point, you can gaze afar in every direction across the Sea of Okhotsk, presenting an unparalleled and panoramic vista where magnificent vultures soar through the sky. Cape Notoro is also a fantastic place for a drive or a motorcycle ride, where you can bask in the freedom of the open road. Taking a lazy stretch on the grass and inhaling the brisk Sea of Okhotsk breeze will undoubtedly leave you feeling revitalized in body and soul!

Lake Notoro Coral Grass Colonies (9/1–9/30 Only)

The Lake Notoro coral grass colonies are a natural phenomenon in Abashiri City, Hokkaido. Coral grass is a unique underwater plant, and its leaves degrade during autumn, turning the lake a deep red hue. This lake boasts a sprawling four hectares of coral grass, with September being the peak season for viewing. The beauty is truly captivating, particularly on clear days, as the contrast between the blue lake and the red coral grass is nothing short of spectacular!

Abashiri Prison Museum (10/1–11/30 Only)

The Abashiri Prison Museum is an open-air history museum that preserves and opens the old Abashiri Prison building, which has had a profound connection with Abashiri City since the Meiji era. Located on the Abashiri side of the scenic Lake Tentoyama in Abashiri Quasi-National Park, the area of the venue is equivalent to about 3.5 Tokyo Domes!

Okhotsk Sanchoku Ichiba Kaniya

The restaurant serves up delicious seasonal seafood harvested from northern Japan.

Kitakitsune Farm

Throughout various regions of Hokkaido, wild Hokkaido foxes inhabit the landscape. At the Kitakitsune Farm, you can observe adorable Hokkaido foxes grooming their fur and taking naps! Around 100 Hokkaido foxes roam freely in the area.

The entrance to the renovated public bath also features a spacious foot bath area. Breakfast is typically served as a buffet, but on days with fewer guests, it may be changed to a Japanese set meal.
