Home | Otaru Tourism Portal | Otaru Night View

Otaru is known for its beautiful night views, with the view from Mt. Tengu being one of Hokkaido's top three night views. The proximity of the sea, city and mountains creates a compact, beautifully shining night view that is captivating from any direction. Mt. Tengu can be accessed by ropeway or car, and offers panoramic views of Otaru city's nightscape from four viewpoints. Because it is so close to the city, you can enjoy a spectacular night view.

Kenashiyama Observatory is located slightly lower than Tenguyama, but it offers a wider view of the city lights than Tenguyama, and is the second most well-known panoramic night view spot in Otaru after Tenguyama.

Suitengu Shrine is located directly above Sakaimachi Street. After sightseeing in Otaru, you can enjoy a night view of the moored ships and Otaru Port up close.

Hiraiso Park is also known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and there is an observation deck right next to the parking lot from which you can enjoy a panoramic night view of Otaru city, especially the bay area. You can enjoy the night view from the comfort of your own car.

Asahi Observatory is an observation deck located behind Otaru Station on a small hill about 190 meters above sea level, and is a beautiful place to enjoy panoramic night views, second only to Mt. Tengu and Mt. Kenashi.

Temiya Park offers a beautiful view of the nightscape of Otaru city from the road, making it a recommended spot for night driving.
