Shiroi Koibito no Oka (Numaura Observatory)

Step Into the Scene of Hokkaido’s Most Beloved Legend

Gaze upon the majestic peaks that inspired Hokkaido’s iconic sweets and capture a memory that lasts a lifetime.


This scenic hilltop offers a breathtaking panorama of Mt. Rishiri, the very mountain depicted on the iconic "Shiroi Koibito" souvenir boxes. From this vantage point on the eastern side of Rishiri Island, the elegant slopes of "Rishiri Fuji" stretch toward the tranquil Lake Otatomari below. In the crisp air, the mountain radiates a quiet, dignified beauty, appearing just as it does on the celebrated souvenir packaging.


The site is also affectionately known as the "Hill of Proposals." In a heartwarming tradition, couples who propose here can receive an official "Propose Certificate" from the local tourism association by presenting a commemorative photo. Feeling the refreshing breeze under the watchful gaze of the peak makes for a truly unforgettable moment. Whether lush with summer greenery or dusted with winter snow, this romantic destination is the perfect place to begin a new chapter of your love story.
