Hello, this is the Hokuryu Town Sunflower Tourism Association 🌻
This time, we’d like to introduce a little-known hidden scenic spot in town called "Chobo Hill" (Hill of Vistas)!
Located a short distance from the town center, this hill is a somewhat special place that, as of now, doesn’t even appear on Google Maps.
From the summit, you’ll face a vast sky and panoramic views of Hokuryu spread all around.
On clear days, you can even see Mt. Otoe in Fukagawa and the Daisetsuzan National Park.
Its appearance changes with the seasons and the hour, offering a different, moving experience each time you visit.
Not fully developed as a tourist site, the hill’s quiet, unhurried atmosphere is part of its charm.
Accessible only by car and a little inconvenient, it rewards you with a view you can almost have to yourself.
Let the breeze brush past and take a deep breath.
It’s a lovely spot to zone out and relax for a moment.
