十勝岳望岳台

The observation platform sits at an elevation of 930 meters on Mount Tokachi, providing views of Mount Asahi and the Daisetsuzan National Park peaks.

The observation deck gained importance as a monitoring point after Mount Tokachi's volcanic eruptions during the Taisho and Showa periods of Japanese history.

Local photographers gather at the deck throughout autumn to capture the transformation of birch trees and alpine plants in their seasonal colors.

The observation deck includes a rest house with vending machines and remains accessible by car, located 35 minutes from JR Biei Station.

The platform serves as a base camp for mountaineers ascending Mount Tokachi while offering views of both volcanic landscapes and Furano Valley farmlands.
