Otaru Tenguyama has long been a symbol of Otaru and beloved by locals. It stands 532 meters above sea level and can be seen from anywhere in central Otaru. You can reach the summit by ropeway, which runs every 6 to 12 minutes, or by car (roads are closed during the winter).

There are five observation decks on Otaru Tenguyama, and the summit observation deck in particular is a must-see spot that has been awarded one star in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. It is a great viewpoint from which you can see the miniature cityscape below, Otaru Port, Ishikari Bay, and on clear days, the distant Shokanbetsu mountain range and Shakotan Peninsula.

The beautiful night view, like a studded jewel, is said to be one of the "Three Great Night Views of Hokkaido." The varied city lights, created by the terrain surrounded by the port and mountains, make for a night view you will never tire of.

At the Tengu House at the top of the mountain, there are about 700 Tengu masks, both large and small, collected from all over Japan on display. The Nose-Stroking Tengu is said to grant wishes if you stroke the tip of its nose, and there are legends that it has magical powers that ward off evil and grant wishes, so why not give it a try?

Another sight that has become increasingly popular in recent years is the "sea of clouds." In Otaru, the chances of them occurring seem to increase from late spring through early summer. It's difficult to see a sea of clouds unless certain conditions, such as the weather and topography, are met, but at Otaru Tenguyama, there are days when you can enjoy rare and spectacular views that can't be seen anywhere else, such as "sea of clouds + night view" or "sea of clouds + sunset."
