The minimum temperature can be -27°C, and the cold is severe in the region. A Ozora Town where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons! From here, we will introduce the sightseeing spots. With the arrival of warm spring, the Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park Higashimokoto moss phlox Park, where the beautiful pink carpet of the moss phlox spreads, is a popular moss phlox spot. The park has an observatory, a pink torii gate, and a sightseeing wheel. The picturesque scenery in the vast park is a must-see! Flowering time around May ~ early June In summer, the vast sunflower field is in full bloom, and yellow flowers spread out like the sun. "Tomap River Park" is the earliest sunflower field in the Ozora Town. It is located about 10 minutes by car from Memanbetsu Airport and has good access. Flowering time: mid ~ late July Asahigaoka Park, which is famous for enjoying sunflowers for a long time, is a popular spot for the superb view from the observatory.

Ozora Town's two major summer events ♬♬ are "Memanbetsu Sightseeing Summer Festival" and "Nonkeyland Furusato Festival" This year, the Tourism Summer Festival was held from July 29 Sat to 30 Sun, 2023. The summer festival, which was held for the first time in four years, was a great success with fireworks on the water! The Hometown Festival was also held for the first time in four years. The race to roll large grass rolls and compete was a great success. In Hokkaido Ozora Town, there is still plenty of recommended information such as beautiful nature, sightseeing spots, and fresh seafood gourmet. We will continue to introduce the charm of Hokkaido Ozora Town, so thank you!

It is Itsukushima Shrine, the guardian deity of Kushiro located in Kushiro City, Hokkaido. The approach road leading from the first torii gate becomes a green tunnel in summer, and you can worship while feeling the sacred air with your whole body.

It is Tsunoshima Island in Yamaguchi. The Tsunoshima Bridge and lighthouse were very beautiful. The sea was very beautiful. Please go and see it.

I like the stained glass inside the ship. The "Nippon Maru" in front of the Landmark Tower and the "Hikawa Maru" towering over Yamashita Park allow you to tour the inside of the ship. Both ships have their own stained glass, and they really like to see pictures of ships on the ship. Of course, you can also enjoy seeing with your own eyes each guest room, kitchen, and social room that you can't believe is on the ship. The photo shows Hikawa Maru in Yamashita Park. It seems that Marine Tower also has a discount ticket for visiting Hikawa Maru, so why not go there?

Kisuke tired of picking wild grass

I spent a holiday trying river SUP with TokachigawaOnsen’s Tokachi Nature Center!! The weather was great — perfect for SUP♪ It was my first time on a SUP, but the clear, easy-to-follow instruction let me enjoy it to the fullest! Be sure to try a SUP experience at Tokachi Nature Center, everyone♪

The view from the restaurant "Yamate Rose Terrace" in the hill park overlooking the port was like a moving painting, and I was moved and cried. I will never forget that I enjoyed a dreamy time with a wonderful drink with the name of "drinking rose".

German Forest, Okayama Prefecture The purpose here was Heidi's swing, but it was a pity that it had already ended when I arrived, but the cosmos was very beautiful and there was a small swing, and I was 😁 doing Heidi there. Dogs are also OK, and it seems to be a relatively easy place for tourists and foreigners to come to, so autumn cosmos is recommended 😀.

Autumn leaves 😯 at Kozanji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture For the purpose of lighting up the lanterns, I waited in the parking lot from about 4 am until dawn. The illumination of the lanterns is also extinguished before it is fully lit, so it is a fleeting sight.

Katsuoji Temple 😯 in Osaka Prefecture, famous for its winning dharma In autumn, the autumn leaves are beautiful and the fog is produced, and it is also a transcendent night view spot, so I waited for about 2 hours to enter the parking lot at this time. I wanted to take a panoramic view, so I climbed the mountain opposite and took it with a super telephoto, and it became 😀 a picture with a sense of paradise as I imagined.

Introducing the post of the "Taiki Tourism Association" COOL JAPAN VIDEOS official social media account! Hokkaido Taiki Town is a town located in the eastern part of Hokkaido. Since around 1985, we have been conducting various initiatives such as aerospace-related experiments with the goal of "space urban development." There are also plenty of attractive sightseeing spots such as "Space Exchange Center SORA" and "Kamui Kotan Park Campground". The specialties of Camembert cheese, autumn salmon and whey pork are exquisite.

The former Hokkaido Government Office Building, one of the symbols of Hokkaido, is an important cultural property of Japan. It is also called the "Red Brick Government Building" and is made using about 2.5 million bricks! The building has a "five-pointed star", which is a symbol of the pioneer mission, so you can find it. The museum is decorated with dioramas that reproduce the city of Sapporo in the Meiji era and paintings related to the development of Hokkaido, and you can learn about the history of Hokkaido. Among them, the 26-part map of Hokkaido created by Takeshiro Matsuura, the godfather of "Hokkaido", is full of spectacles! Currently, it is closed until February 17, 2025 due to large-scale renovation work due to aging, but the temporary facility is open to the public during the renovation work. It is a spot that shows a different expression depending on the season, with cherry blossoms and lilacs in spring, lush greenery and hamanasu in summer, and autumn leaves in autumn. There are many gourmet spots in the area, so be sure to stop by. 【Temporary Facility】 business hours:8:45~18:00 Last entry at 17:50 Period: Until early May 2024 Closed: Year-end and New Year holidays December 31 ~ January 3 * We are also open on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, but please note that there are also temporary holidays. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 【Address】 〒060-8588 Hokkaido Sapporo City Chuo-ku Kita 3-jo Nishi 6-chome 【Access】 8-minute walk from JR Sapporo Station Nishi-dori South Exit 6-minute walk from Sapporo Station on the Namboku Subway Line 8-minute walk from Sapporo Station on the Toho Subway Line 9-minute walk from Odori Station on the Namboku Line, Tozai Line, and Toho Line

Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Video! I’m Kurashima, Tourism Officer with the Community Revitalization Team of Nishiokoppe Village. I’d like to share lots of enticing tourist information about Nishiokoppe Village, Hokkaido. I look forward to your interest. Nishiokoppe Village, Hokkaido, lies inland from the Sea of Okhotsk in Eastern Hokkaido. The population is 1,002 (as of the end of July, Reiwa 5), and about 90 percent of the village area is covered by forest. The contrast between the forests and snowy landscapes is beautiful, and many public buildings are unified by orange-colored walls. The village experiences large temperature swings: winter can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius and summer can exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Despite the harsh natural conditions, the area is rich in nature and full of remote, scenic spots and waterfalls to explore. Now, here are some of the attractive sightseeing spots in Nishiokoppe Village, Hokkaido. At the foot of Mount Wenshiri, the “Ice Tunnel” offers a mystical, ice-filled world and is a popular destination. The tunnel, formed by water flowing from spring snowmelt, sits in a mountain valley so the ice remains even in summer, creating a mysterious scene. Because of collapse risks it is usually closed, but this July it was opened for one day for the first time in four years. Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu blends a flower park with a roadside station. Inside the roadside station you can find a rare wooden mechanical organ called Oto-Ki-Bayashi that plays music using wind. The shop sells dairy products such as soft-serve made with Nishiokoppe-produced grass-fed milk, and processed Ezo deer products (leather goods, pet food, etc.). The adjacent flower park features a garden designed around a “natural garden” concept that recreates plants suited to Nishiokoppe Village’s climate and landscape. About a 10-minute drive from Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu, the Komu Museum of Art, “Komu,” follows the concept of seeing, touching, playing, and creating. It exhibits about 3,000 wooden toys and works, and large wooden play structures are available for visitors to touch and play with. One especially popular attraction is the wooden sandbox filled with 160,000 wooden balls, where you can enjoy the scent of wood and a kind of woodworking bath. You can also take part in hands-on woodcraft workshops to make things yourself. Enjoy a luxurious time experiencing art in the forest. Gyōja Falls, a 20-meter waterfall where you can feel the power of nature, is another highlight. The falls began to be called Gyōja Falls after a woman in the late Meiji period repeatedly stood under the waterfall praying for her parent’s recovery from a serious illness. Upstream from Gyōja Falls are Akaiwa Falls, with a beautiful brick-colored riverbed, and Kuroiwa Falls, which flows through a primeval forest of Ezo spruce; you can enjoy all three falls along a single route. Next, here are campgrounds where you can enjoy wide-open nature and outdoor activities. Forest Park underwent major renovations over two years in Reiwa 4 and 5, preparing tent site improvements and new playground equipment for a renovated reopening in Reiwa 6. In Reiwa 5 the tent sites are available until October 15, but playground equipment is not usable. The park also has paid log houses available year-round and a BBQ house for day-use barbecues. Surrounded by primary forest, Wenshiri Campground has no cooking facilities and is recommended for a wild camping experience. Like the Ice Tunnel, it is located on Mount Wenshiri and offers one free bungalow that can accommodate up to ten people. Note that the area around the primeval forest may have bear sightings, so caution is required when using the site. Nishiokoppe Village is also known for its guitar factory, Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry Co. Ltd., where beautifully sounding instruments are made. Founded in a way that succeeded a lumber company, Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry now produces 20,000 guitar bodies annually. A separate building on the factory grounds houses a free showroom open to visitors for casual tours. Access to Nishiokoppe Village: From Haneda Airport to Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. From the Osaka area, you can fly from Kansai International Airport or Osaka International Airport to New Chitose Airport (about 1 hour 50 minutes), take JR to asahikawa station (about 2 hours 10 minutes), transfer to a JR limited express and get off at Nayoro (about 1 hour), then take a bus to Nishiokoppe Village (about 1 hour). A bus from Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport to Nishiokoppe Village takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. From the Ice Tunnel to other beautiful landscapes and delicious local food, Nishiokoppe Village offers a variety of experiences. We will continue to share the charms of Nishiokoppe Village, Hokkaido, so please stay tuned!
