Yuhigaoka Parking Area

It is recommended to visit at dusk. Viewpoints with spectacular scenery

From the Midori district near JR Minami-Wakkanai Station, head southwest along Route 106. After passing a sharp left curve, the vast Sea of Japan comes into view. Perched on a hill, this location offers a panoramic view of Rishiri Island and Rebun Island, making it one of Wakkanai’s premier sunset spots. As dusk falls, Mt. Rishiri transforms with breathtaking hues, creating a romantic atmosphere that will captivate you. The parking area, equipped with restrooms, makes it an ideal stop for a driving break.
