Head to the Observatory to See the Sunset Over the Pacific!

And, right next to Michi-no-Eki Mitsuishi, there's an observatory that offers a sweeping view of the campground and the sea. The daytime view is, of course, spectacular, but the scenery at dusk is truly moving.

To get to the observatory, you climb the stairs next to the vermilion torii gate.

Once you reach the observatory, a panoramic ocean view spreads out before you! If you're lucky, you can witness a picturesque scene of the sun sinking into the sea from an orange-hued sky.

Enjoy a Grand Pacific Panorama and Local Cuisine at "Kurazo"!

After a day of playing in the sea and exploring the area, head to Mitsuishi Konbu Onsen "Kurazo" to reset and relax. Here, you can enjoy not only the hot springs but also exquisite Mitsuishi gourmet food.

From the official website of Mitsuishi Konbu Onsen "Kurazo"

The open-air bath, designed to resemble a ship, offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean for a truly liberating experience. Listening to the calls of seagulls while watching the sunset, or soaking under a starry sky enveloped by the sound of waves—it's the ultimate healing time. By the way, the bath contains locally sourced Mitsuishi konbu, and its minerals will leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized.

Mitsuishi Beef Bowl: 2,800 yen

Before or after your onsen experience, we also recommend a visit to the "Oshokujidokoro Hatago" restaurant inside "Kurazo"! Here, you can eat a steak bowl featuring "Mitsuishi beef," the pride of Shinhidaka's Mitsuishi area. The fat is sweet, and the meat is incredibly tender! With every bite, the flavors of the meat juices and sauce fill your mouth.

The shop offers a wide variety of local specialty products from the Hidaka region, such as Hidaka Konbu and Mitsuishi Yokan. Be sure to stop by to find some souvenirs.
