Short walk from the car park. Beautiful view of the marsh land.

Spectacular panoramic view of Kushiro Marsh Land. You can also sit & relax at visitor lounge. Worth to visit when you are travelling in Kushiro. Along the way, if you are lucky, you may see wild life animal. We found a little young fox. Be careful when driving.

Driving to the marsh on mid July 2019, Nothing much to do.. Road to the marsh is a bit narrow and slippery. Outdoor Parking is available for free. Visitor lounge is a must to visit. The souvenirs are cute, icecream is good and some visitors bring their own lunch box to eat in there. Public toilet is available. From visitor lounge, you have to walk to see the marsh, less direction signs so beware to get lost easily!🥰..

Views during winter taken in feb. There are a few good observation points in this area. Good view of the highlands of akan mashu range. If you come in the morning there is a good chance to view some wildlife in the distance. Just a short distance away is a small toilet area. However this is closed during winter. The nearest toilets are in the visitor center.

Beautiful place. One thing to note though, please check the directions that google tell you to go as the one they led us was through an unpaved one way route which although thrilling made the passengers feel scared that another vehicle will come anytime or a deer or bear will pop out.
