Esanuka Line
A Road That Stretches to the Horizon—Unobstructed and Unforgettable
The Esanuka Line is a stunning straight road stretching for about 16km through the wide-open landscapes of Hokkaido. Aside from two slight curves along the way, it’s a nearly uninterrupted ribbon of asphalt that seems to continue forever into the horizon.
What makes this road truly exceptional is the lack of visual obstructions: there are no guardrails, no power lines, and no buildings—just a single road cutting through vast green pastures. Even in a place as spacious as Hokkaido, such a completely open and perfectly straight road is rare. It’s no wonder that the Esanuka Line is considered a sacred route among motorcyclists and road trip enthusiasts alike.
Located in Sarufutsu Village, which also happens to boast the largest scallop harvest in Japan, the Esanuka Line is the perfect stop to include on a scenic drive or motorcycle tour. Whether you're cruising under clear blue skies or chasing the golden hour light, this road offers a sense of freedom that only Hokkaido can deliver.
