Asahigaoka Park, located in Ozora Town near Memanbetsu Airport, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The park is known for its sunflower fields, though the blooms' condition can vary depending on the time of year and weather. Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view from the observation deck, which includes sights of Lake Abashiri and the Shiretoko mountain range. The park also features a park golf course and is a spot where you can see the field where Kurosawa Akira filmed a scene from the movie "Dreams". While some reviews mention power lines obstructing the view, the park provides a pleasant stop with free parking and restroom facilities. Visit during the sunflower season for the best experience, though conditions may vary.
