Taisetsu Observatory Espoir Bell
The town emblem, which also appears on the town’s welcome sign
This bell, a symbol of Kamikawa Town whose name derives from the French word for "hope," chimes beautifully every three hours starting at 9 a.m. The bell is the largest in Japan, and the view of the Daisetsuzan mountain range from the observation deck where the bell stands is truly magnificent.
