Esanuka Line
A 16km Straight Road through Hokkaido’s Grasslands
The Esanuka Line in Sarufutsu Village stretches about 16km across the Asachino Plateau, forming one of Hokkaido’s most remarkable straight roads.
Aside from two gentle curves, it runs straight to the horizon. On either side, there are no guardrails, utility poles, or buildings—just a ribbon of asphalt surrounded by endless green grasslands, giving a rare sense of openness and freedom.
Riders feel the cool breeze from the grasslands on their cheeks and hear only the tires humming on the pavement and the wind rushing past. The vivid contrast of blue sky and green fields on clear days creates the thrilling sensation of riding straight toward the horizon.
Even in Hokkaido, roads with such unobstructed scenery are uncommon, making the Esanuka Line a must-visit for motorcycle enthusiasts.
Sarufutsu Village is also known for having Japan’s largest scallop harvest, making it highly recommended to enjoy fresh local seafood as part of your drive or tour.
