It is by far one of the most beautiful spot during our trip in Oct 2014! It's exactly as I had imagined from all the on-line photos. Breathtaking indeed! To get to this location (the eastern end of south Hokkaido), one must drive and our base was Kushiro. Although it was a long drive, it was a picturesque and scenic one. We can't help but made a few stops along to way whenever we saw something we like. The photos will do more justice that what is described here. Definitely worth the time and drive.See more..

4.0Abashiri Coast(50 reviews) - Beat view from the water or the Tentozan viewing platform Spent < 1 hour Beaches • Lookouts
The Abashiri coast expanse can be viewed from the Aurora cruise ships on the Sea of Okhotsk, the Cape Notoro lighthouse, the Tentozan viewing platform, and a few places in town on the ridge. I think the Tentozan viewing platform gives the most expansive view, all the way from Cape Notoro on the west to the Shiretoko peninsula on the east. A good view of the coast may reward you with beautiful sunsets. I particularly like the rose hues on Shiretoko and Rause mountain ranges in the east. Viewed 2/19/2018See more..

4.0Kamuikotan(40 reviews) - Beautiful Scenery Off The Beaten Track Spent < 1 hour Historic Walking Areas • Lookouts
On the Asahikawa tourist information map, we saw that this place is one of the 8 views of Asahikawa and hence decided to give it a try. Getting to this place is in itself a challenge, as there seems to be only one bus service (bus pick up point at bus stop number 10) to this area with limited bus service timings and lack of clear information on which stop to alight. Do ask for specific directions from the Tourist Information Centre at the Asahikawa JR station, there are a few friendly staff there who can speak in English and they will provide the bus service timings and give detailed instructions on getting to Kamuikotan, which includes the bus stop to alight from. From the bus stop, it is a short 7-10minute walk to get to the Kamuikotan bridge. The walk to the bridge is pleasant as during autumn season, you can enjoy the changing colours of the autumn season through the trees on the side of the river. It is also a special geological area given the way the rocks and stones are formed on the river bed. The area appears to be sacred to the indigenous people with local folklore stories attesting to how the area came to be known as the village of the gods. A walk across the white colour bridge will bring you to the old train station along with an actual replica of the old trains used in the past. There are toilet facilities on both sides of the bridge. There is a provision shop on one side of the bridge selling local fruits and other produce. This place, in my opinion, is best visited during autumn season. When we visited on 8 October 2019, the area is beautiful and quiet, and the place is mainly visited by locals who came in small busloads and a few Taiwanese tourists who seem to know this attraction. A nice place that is truly off the beaten track. Bring an umbrella along in case it rains, as there are few shelter facilities.See more..
3.5Cape Shirakami(29 reviews) - The southernmost tip of Hokkaido Lookouts

With some remaining snow patches on the mt, the views were as if on posters/postcards of Biei/Furano.See more..
"Gomesaki" means "Gome point". "Gome point" is a small land with rocks surrounded by shallows and a little bit away from Teuri Island. Depending on seasons, some species of many seagulls gather up and stay there. "Gome point" is quiet and relaxing atmosphere by the vast expanse of the sea. What makes the scenery so special is "Rishiri-Fuji" rising above the sea. The best time to watch the scenery is in the sunrise and sunset, brighten up sky to ocean with magic color. It makes you lose any words.See more..
