Taisetsu Observatory Espoir Bell
The gusset symbol is also a country sign
This bell, which is the symbol of Kamikawa Town, which bears the French word for “hope”, plays a beautiful sound every three hours from 9 a.m.
The bell is the largest in Japan, and the view from the observation deck and bell overlooking the Daisetsuzan mountain range is truly magnificent.
