Go to the observatory to watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean!

Near Michi-no-Eki Mitsuishi, there is a campground and an observatory overlooking the ocean. Of course, the view of the ocean in the daytime is spectacular, but the view at sunset is just as impressive.

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

When you arrive at the observatory, the panoramic ocean spreads out below you! If you are lucky, you will see a picturesque view of the setting sun sinking from the orange sky into the sea.

Enjoy the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and local delicacies at Kurasan!

After playing in the ocean and exploring the surrounding area, head to Mitsuisi Kombu Onsen "Kurasan" to reset after a tiring day. Here, you can enjoy not only the hot spring but also exquisite Mitsuishi gourmet food.

The open-air bath, designed in the image of a ship, offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, giving you a sense of freedom. Watching the sunset while listening to the seagulls, or bathing under the stars with the sound of the waves, is truly an exquisite healing experience. Incidentally, the bath is filled with kelp from Mitsuishi, so the mineral components of the kelp will keep your skin moist.

Also, before or after the hot spring bath, we recommend going to "Restaurant Hatago" located inside "Kurasan"! Here, you can enjoy a steak donburi made with Mitsuishi beef, the pride of the town of Shin-hidaka and Mitsuishi. The fat is sweet and the tender meat is irresistible! Each bite will fill your mouth with the flavor of the juices and sauce!

The store has a large selection of Hidaka region specialties such as Hidaka kelp and Mitsuishi Yokan (sweet bean jelly). Stop by to look for souvenirs.
