From the Bihoro Pass observatory at an altitude of 525m, a magnificent panorama unfolds before you, featuring Lake Kussharo, Japan's largest caldera lake, below; Mount Iozan, which still emits volcanic smoke; and in the distance, the grand mountain ranges of Shiretoko and Daisetsu. Due to its beautiful scenery, Bihoro Pass is acclaimed as an 'unparalleled view under the heavens' and bustles with many tourists every year.

In the early morning, you can also see a 'sea of clouds,' a natural phenomenon where clouds look like an ocean when viewed from a high altitude, such as a mountain.
