Mikuni Pass Observatory
Breathtaking views from Mikuni Pass, 1,139 meters above sea level
Located in Daisetsuzan National Park, this scenic viewpoint offers sweeping views of an endless forest and Matsumi Ohashi Bridge.
Mikuni Pass Observatory is a scenic viewpoint at the highest pass on a national road in Hokkaido, taking its name from the historical borders of Ishikari, Tokachi, and Kitami. From the observatory, an endless expanse of forest stretches as far as the eye can see, with a road winding through the deep woods alongside Matsumi Ohashi Bridge.
Set against the lush green forest, Matsumi Ohashi Bridge is a striking red arch bridge about 30 meters high and 330 meters long. Its graceful curve makes it one of Mikuni Pass’s most iconic sights. The scenery transforms with the seasons, from fresh greenery in early summer to golden foliage in autumn and tranquil snow-covered landscapes in winter. The cool mountain breeze adds to the refreshing atmosphere.
At the summit, Mikuni Pass Café offers a relaxing place to pause while taking in views of the surrounding trees and mountain ranges through large windows. Visitors can enjoy hand-drip coffee made from in-house roasted beans or soft-serve ice cream while admiring the scenery.
A popular destination for scenic drives, Mikuni Pass offers a memorable way to experience the vast beauty of Hokkaido’s wilderness.
