Ogi-ga-hara Observatory
A Panoramic View of the Tokachi Plain
Ogi-ga-hara Observatory is a stunning viewpoint where you can take in the sweeping panorama of the Tokachi Plain. Located along Route 85 between Shikaoi Town and Lake Shikaribetsu, it is named for the way the plain spreads out below like an open folding fan.
On clear days, your gaze can reach all the way to the Hidaka Mountain Range. This breathtaking view was beloved by the celebrated Tokachi-born painter Nissho Kanda, who often found inspiration here.
For travelers seeking the essence of Hokkaido’s vast landscapes, this is a spot where you can truly feel the scale and beauty of the region’s nature. Whether you arrive during the vibrant greens of summer or the snow-covered silence of winter, the scenery never fails to impress.
