A beautiful hill much loved for its 60km picturesque view of the north corner of Daisetsuzan National Park, Mount Aibetsu to the south corner, Mount Minami Furano. The name Shujitsu no Oka was named by local cameramen. It is a special view in Hokkaido with its beautiful countryside going on for eternity.
From the hill, visitors can see a view of the countryside alongside Asahikawa Airport, Biei City, and Daisetsuzan Mountain range. Some roads go up and down often compared to that of a roller coaster. It has been used in various TV shoots for its views, earning its popularity.
The hills are far from the national roads, meaning they are largely unmaintained. There are no bathrooms, parking or souvenir shops, be aware when visiting. There are no signs, it is common for visitors to get lost. Make sure to know your destination beforehand.
