Mashu Viewpoint 1
One of three observatories on Lake Mashu along Highway 52. It is commonly known as "Omote Mashu".
In the summer of 2022, Lake Mashu Kamui Terrace, a facility where visitors can experience the various natural features of Lake Mashu, was renovated and opened. It is also known as a famous spot for star gazing, and its open location with a panoramic view in all directions allows visitors to see the stars in 360 degrees on a clear night.
At the Lake Mashu Rest House, which is located next to the lake, handmade specialty "imo dango" (sweet potato dumplings) and "Mashu Blue" light blue soft serve ice cream (slightly mint flavor) are popular. Many original products are also available, such as "Canned Fog (Dream and Romance)," which clears the fog in the picture of Lake Mashu when the can is heated.
