The Senmo Main Line offers spectacular views. Kitahama station, which is closest to the Sea of Okhotsk, is just 20 meters from the coastline. It truly is "the station closest to the Sea of Okhotsk." In mid-winter, drift ice covers the coast in front of the station so densely that it becomes difficult to tell where the land and sea end. On clear days, you can see the mountains of Shiretoko, a World Heritage Site. The station building, which has the feel of a "northern station," is crammed with used commuter passes, tickets, business cards, photos, and more. At the restaurant "Teishaba" inside the station, you can enjoy meals such as curry and omelet rice while taking in the spectacular view.

*Please do not walk on drift ice as it is extremely dangerous. Falling into the sea could put your life at risk.
