Discover the Bihoro Pass, a mountain and observatory pass that not only offers panoramic views of Lake Kussharo, Japan's largest caldera lake, but also showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Hokkaido's natural wonders.

During summer and winter, a natural phenomenon called *unkai,* or “sea of clouds", occurs, capturing a mesmerising display of the fog hanging above the lake. Finally, the Bihoro Pass provides an exceptional spot for stargazing and witnessing the expanse of the starry sky.
