Shukutsu Panorama Observatory | Otaru Tourism

Home | Otaru Tourism Portal | Young Chicken Jidai Naruto Main Store

Famous for its beautiful sunrises and sunsets, Shukutsu Panorama Observatory is located on a hill about 70 meters above sea level in the northeastern part of Otaru City. Looking east from the observation deck, you can see Takashima Cape in the foreground, accented by a spectacular view of Ishikari Bay beyond.

On a clear day, you can see Mount Shokanbetsu and Mount Mashike beyond Ishikari Bay. Hiyoriyama Lighthouse and Otaru City Herring Palace sit atop the cape, and in the foreground is the Otaru Aquarium's outdoor facility, Marine Mammals Park, which contributes to the spectacular view from Shukutsu Panorama Observatory.

Meanwhile, in the west, you can see the breathtaking sunset over the Sea of Japan from late April to late August, and on clear days, families and couples gather with cameras in hand. You can spend a luxurious time gazing at the view and forgetting about time.

The observation deck has a free parking lot, so we recommend going there by private car or rental car. If you are coming by public transportation, take the Hokkaido Chuo Bus bound for Otaru Aquarium from JR Otaru Station, and the last stop, Otaru Aquarium, is at the foot of the Shukutsu Panorama Observatory.

The observation deck is about 70 meters above sea level, so it might be fun to take your time climbing the slope while enjoying the scenery.
