Observatory 1, offers a panoramic view of Lake Mashu, re-opened in 2022 as Mashu Kamuy Terrace. The observation space is covered in glass to better highlight the beauty of the lake and has special sofas with the angle adjusted to enjoy the starry night sky. The view spreading before your eyes from the terrace of the deep blue hue of Lake Mashu, Mount Kamui, and Kamuishu Island in the middle of the lake is breathtaking. You can also get a light meal at the cafe in the terrace building. It has Mashu coffee made from locally grown soybeans and soft-serve ice cream made from fresh milk.
