Yuhigaoka Observation Deck

Yuhigaoka Observation Deck (夕日ヶ丘展望台) is a lookout point in the northern part of Rishiri Island (利尻島), and is relatively near Oshidomari Ferry Terminal (鴛泊フェリーターミナル). As its name suggests, the small cape was named after seeing the beautiful sunset. * Yuhi means "The sunset" in English, and gaoka means "A hill of" in English. The cape is half as tall as Cape Peshi (ペシ岬), so this place is a good place to see the beautiful sunset without difficulty. In daytime, beautiful views such as Mt. Rishirifuji and blue sea can be viewed. Only the observation deck and a parking lot are built at the site. Tourist facilities such as a restroom and a souvenir shop are not built. Admission free. The parking lot is free of charge.

The observation deck is built on the hilltop of about 50 m elevation cape. Steps are built at the hillside, and visitors can go up the cape for about 10 minutes. It is easy going up because the slope is more gentle than the Cape Peshi. Seasonal wild flowers can be seen along the steps, and the cape looks like a primeval flower garden. The visitors can see Ponmoshiri Island (ポンモシリ島), Fujinoenchi Observatory (富士野園地展望台) and Rebun Island (礼文島) on the left, and can see Cape Peshi (ペシ岬) on the right.
