Yuhidai Sunset Point
夕陽台
A small hilltop viewpoint above the Utoro hot spring street. It is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Shiretoko and a classic spot to watch the sun set into the Sea of Okhotsk.
Yuhidai sits on a hill behind the Utoro hot spring street and is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Shiretoko. From here you can overlook Utoro Port, Oronko Rock, and the Sea of Okhotsk. On clear days the sun sinks below the horizon, and in winter you can see drift ice on the sea. Next to it are the public hot spring Yuhidai no Yu (open in summer) and a campground. It is a 15-minute walk from the hot spring street and free to visit. After sunset the mountain path becomes dark, brown bears occasionally appear, so go with a companion and carry a light.
