Akkeshi望洋台 / Akkeshi Bouyoudai

Akkeshi望洋台（Akkeshi日文漢字寫成厚岸，位於厚岸町）是位於聯繫著釧路市與根室市的國道44號線上的免費瞭望台。如果從釧路市前往的話，其位置就在正好進入了根岸町的地方。釧路～根室之間的國道44號線的距離有123公里之遠，但以前在這之間是沒有可以休息的地方。這裡於1979年時設置了廁所整備成了瞭望台。可以遠眺廣大的厚岸灣。

Akkeshi Bouyoudai (Akkeshi Town) is an outdoor observation spot located on national road Route 44, which connects Kushiro City and Nemuro City. It is a good place for a rest during a long drive. Traveling from Kushiro to Nemuro, you will find Akkeshi Bouyoudai on the left hand side soon after entering Akkeshi town. It is 123 kilometers between Kushiro and Nemuro and there wasn't any place for drivers to take a rest before. In 1979, toilet facilities were installed and the place became an observation spot. Visitors can see a panoramic view of the Akkeshi gulf. Bouyou means 'viewing ocean' in English.
