The Kushiro City Marshland Observatory is the best-maintained observatory near the city and the airport, and is located at the western edge of Kushiro Marsh.

From the observation deck on the third floor and the rooftop, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the marshland, Kushiro city, and the Pacific Ocean.

The first floor has stores and restaurants, and the second floor has a museum about the marshland. The satellite observatory, located in the middle of the 2.5km long promenade starting from the observatory, has a very good view of the marshland.

It is recommended to take the left-hand (north) promenade, which has fewer ups and downs and is easier to walk.

The sunset seen from here is also wonderful.
