Kohone-no-Ie (Hamayuchi Observation Rest Facility)
Views of Mt. Rishiri and Kohone Pond from Route 106
Located within Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu National Park in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, Kohone-no-Ie (Hamayuchi Observation Rest Facility) is a rest facility along Prefectural Road 106. The site is adjacent to Kohone Pond and offers views of Mt. Rishiri on Rishiri Island across the sea.
The facility takes its name from Hokkai-kohone, an aquatic plant in the water-lily family that can be seen in nearby ponds from early summer through summer. Kohone Pond adjoins the facility, and visitors can observe the seasonal vegetation and waterside landscape.
The rooftop observation deck offers views of the coast, Rishiri Island, and Mt. Rishiri, also known as Rishiri Fuji. On days with clear visibility, Mt. Rishiri can be seen across the sea. The deck also provides views of the sunset.
The nearby Hamayuchi Wildflower Garden is home to plants such as Japanese rugosa rose (hamanasu) and Ezo daylily (ezokanzo), which bloom in early summer. The grounds also feature a monument inscribed with a poem by actor Hisaya Morishige, who visited the area during the filming of a television drama.
