Tokachidake's best viewpoint

Tokachidake Bogakudai Observation Tower is actually not a tower but a large open space with a full 360-degree view.

Tokachidake through the seasons

The views of the Tokachidake Mountains in autumn are splendid.

If you would like to see the first snow in the valley, you only have a short window, so make sure you book a hotel nearby.

It is a nice place to visit if you have rented a car or are staying near Shirogane Onsen.
