Kenashiyama Observatory is a rest area located on the Kenashi Pass along National Route 393, which connects Otaru City and Akaigawa Village. When it comes to night view spots in Otaru, Tenguyama is famous, having been selected as one of Hokkaido's three best night views, but the view from Kenashiyama Observatory is a popular spot with a wide-ranging view that is a little different from Tenguyama.

At 470m above sea level, it is slightly lower than Mt. Tengu, but many people travel from afar to visit, and the spectacular view that stretches from Otaru city to Ishikari Bay is unique to this observation deck. After the sun sets, the surrounding area is shrouded in darkness, so on clear days you can also see the stars beautifully. Please note that the parking lot is closed in winter.
