[2025 Otaru Attraction] Travel Guide for Otaru Shukutsu Panorama Observation Deck (Updated Jun)

I recently visited Hokkaido, and the lush green landscapes were a refreshing change from the snowy scenes often associated with the island. Our journey was filled with breathtaking views, delicious food, and memorable experiences. We started in Otaru, where the Shukutsu Panoramic Observatory offered stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent hours taking it all in. In Sapporo, we visited Shiroi Koibito Park, a chocolate lover's paradise with beautiful gardens and a charming atmosphere. We indulged in the famous cookies and chocolates, which were absolutely delicious. In Furano, we explored Farm Tomita, a haven for flower enthusiasts. The fields were ablaze with colorful blooms, and we strolled through the vibrant landscape, snapping photos and taking in the beauty of nature. Biei's Blue Pond was another highlight, with its uniquely bluish water which makes it stand out from the greenery . Throughout our journey, we enjoyed a wide range of delicious food, from fresh seafood to local specialties like ramen, yakitori and yakiniku. Each meal was a culinary delight, showcasing Hokkaido's unique flavors and ingredients. Seeing Hokkaido in its green glory was a treat, and we enjoyed exploring the island's many attractions. The scenic views, beautiful flowers, and delicious food made for an unforgettable experience. If you're planning a trip to Hokkaido, I highly recommend visiting during the green season for a unique and breathtaking experience.

[Yeah] When you get to the observatory, it feels like you’ve walked into a fairytale snow country. Large snowflakes fluttered down, gently covering Otaru Port with a silver coat. The ships are quietly docked, with masts looming in the snow. The mountains in the distance are also covered with snow, which contrasts with the snowy scenery of the harbor in front of us. Any glance is a beautiful winter picture [Congratulate]. 🌆The cold sea breeze is howling and the snow is flying all over the sky. Looking down at the mountain, the sea water is surging against the rocks; the steep cliffs beside add a bit of danger; the fireworks and world in the distance add a warm atmosphere to the snowy scene. The beauty of Otaru is displayed before your eyes without reservation, and every glance will be deeply imprinted in your heart. 📸If you want to take photos, the fence next to the observation deck is a great spot. Leaning against the fence, with the snowy Otaru Port as the background, strike a pose casually, and capture the atmospheric snow scene with ease. Dominating the circle of friends is not a problem. The winter snow scene at the Otaru Shukutsu Observatory is a gentle poem that heals everything.
