　In the mountainous area of Chiuchi Town, there was a place where the national highway ２２８ and the Hokkaido Shinkansen railroad crossed, and there was "Roadside Station Shiriuchi". Right next to the roadside station is the Shinkansen observatory. The observatory had a time when the Shinkansen passed.

I went. The passing time is just a "guide". There was also a commemorative stamp, so if you are collecting it, don't forget to take the paper.

I think it's a good idea to search the net and look at the timetable before going. There is also an elevator until you go to the observatory. There are few places to sightsee around
