Lake Saroma Observation Deck
Lake Saroma Observation Deck overlooks the lagoon, the narrow sandbar and the Okhotsk Sea from Mount Horoiwa. The deck is normally closed from late November to late April, with dates depending on snow conditions.
The elevated view makes Lake Saroma’s scale and its sandbar separating lagoon from open sea immediately legible. It is a focused panorama stop when the access road and deck are open. The official listing gives a normal closure from late November to late April, with dates depending on snow. Check the current deck and road status with Saroma Town tourism before departure.
What to look for
