Kurodake Ropeway
The Kurodake Ropeway travels from Sounkyo Station at 670 meters above sea level to Kurodake Station at 1,300 meters on the mountainside in just 7 minutes. From the middle of the mountain, you can take a double cable car to the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. If you want to enjoy the unobstructed scenery from the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,984 meters, you need to climb the mountain for about 1.5 hours to reach it. There are walking routes at the end of the cable car halfway up the mountain and at the end of the double cable car between the mountainside and the top of the mountain. Even if you don’t climb to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy alpine plant forests in summer, colorful red leaves in autumn, and the snow scene in winter is even more spectacular.
Milky Way, Meteor Waterfall
View the famous waterfall selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan from the parking lot. "Galaxy Falls" flows down from the cliffs along the Ishikari River like a thin white line, and "Meteor Falls" is like a thick waterfall.
Cape Notoro
Cape Notoro descends from the cliff at the tip of the cape, overlooking the clear ocean, and it is an excellent place to watch drift ice in winter. Drift ice that flows from Siberia to the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk covers the entire bay. From here, you can overlook the Sea of Okhotsk in all directions, with a wide view
