Misogi Beach Observation Deck

A famous spot within walking distance of Kikonai Station on the Hokkaido Shinkansen. Misogi Beach is easily identified by its large torii gate; from this excellent observation spot, you can get a sweeping view of the Tsugaru Strait and Mt. Hakodate and even all the way to the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture. During the Kanchu Misogi-sai, a traditional event held at Samegawa-jinja Shrine from January 13 to 15, this area is used for a purification ritual conducted to pray for good fish catches and harvests for the coming year-during the ceremony, four participants jump into the freezing cold ocean to purify an object of worship. A monument dedicated to this event also stands on the observation deck.
