【Hokkaido/Otaru】Meet the Tengu at the Tengu Mountain Rooftop Observatory

The Tengu Mountain Rooftop Observatory offers breathtaking panoramic views of Otaru's cityscape, Ishikari Bay, and distant mountains, showcasing stunning scenery that changes with the seasons.

Standing at an elevation of approximately 532 meters, Tengu Mountain is one of Otaru's iconic landmarks.

Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a fan of scenic views, visiting with family, or on a romantic getaway, this spot promises unforgettable memories. Unique attractions like the "real Tengu mask" and "nose-rubbing Tengu" add a touch of fun and are perfect for photos and souvenirs. 👺

The Tengu Mountain Rooftop Observatory is a place where you can fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty and cityscape of Otaru. It's a destination that offers extraordinary views and luxurious moments away from everyday life, making it a must-visit spot during your Otaru trip.
