There are no trains Omu Town, so you can get there by car, rental car, or bus. It takes about 4 hours 30 minutes ~ 5 hours 30 minutes by expressway from Sapporo. If you are traveling by air, please use Asahikawa Airport or Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport. It takes about 3 hours by car from Asahikawa Airport Omu Town and about 1 hour Omu Town from Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport. The climate weather in Omu Town is cool throughout the year, especially from January to March, when drift ice docks in the Sea of Okhotsk, so the temperature is low. In winter, the temperature may drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius on some days, so be careful about the cold when visiting. Next, we will introduce the representative sightseeing spots of Omu Town. The recommended base for sightseeing in Omu Town is "Roadside Station Oumu" in the center of Omu Town city.

Dattan soba Dattan Soba is also called "bitter soba noodles" and contains about 100 times more "rutin", which is a type of polyphenol and the source of bitterness, about 100 times more than normal soba noodles, but now it is easy to eat because we have planted a variety called "Manten Kirari" that softens the bitterness and retains the nutrients. Rutin has a powerful antioxidant effect, so it can be expected to prevent weekly illness and improve blood sugar and blood pressure, making it a soba noodle that has been attracting attention due to the health boom in recent years. There is also an observation deck modeled after an airship 24 meters above the ground, and it is also a spot where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Obu. Located about 12 minutes by car from downtown Omu Town, Cape Hinode is a superb view point of sunrise. On the small hill of the cape, there is also the all-glass "Cape Hinode Observatory La Luna", and there are binoculars that can be used free of charge at the observatory. "La Luna" means "moon" in Italian. It is said that it was named "It seems that the moon floats above the cape." You can enjoy the scenery of the Sea of Okhotsk in summer and the panoramic view of over 180 degrees in front of you during the drift ice season in winter. There is "Omu Town Cape Hinode Campsite" about 7 minutes on foot from Cape Hinode. It consists of a free site and bungalows, and is bustling during the summer camp every year.

COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest PR
Nov. 30, 2022
Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Mr. Tackle's post "Mt. Fuji from the campsite exclusively at the foot". It is a powerful photo that you can feel even the surface of Mt. Fuji. "Fumoto Soura" is located at the foot of Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture in the Tokai region, and is a campsite where you can overlook Mt. Fuji. The reason for its popularity is the free site where you can drive right next to the tent in the vast grounds. Even if you do not have a tent, you can rest assured that there are accommodations such as cottages. Recently, it has become a hot topic as a sacred place for the popular anime "Yuru Can△". The campsite is only equipped with shower facilities, so if you want to take a bath, we recommend using the nearby hot spring facilities. ・Asagiri Onsen Kaze no Yu It is the closest to the campsite and you can also enjoy vanadium hot springs and meals. You can also use the bedrock bath free of charge. ・Tenmu no Yu It is a popular hot bath facility for returning from climbing Mt. Fuji and camping guests. The admission fee is as low as 400 yen for adults, and you can enjoy the medicated bath, cypress bath, and low-temperature sauna. Use of the campsite exclusively at the foot is by appointment only. You need to make a reservation on a specific date from the reservation form on the official website. It seems that it is difficult to make a reservation on consecutive holidays, but it seems that it is relatively easy to make a reservation on weekdays. ◆Exclusive campsite◆ 【Address】〒418-0109 Shizuoka Prefecture Fujinomiya City Roku 156 【Access】 ・Car Shin-Tomei Expressway Get off at Shin-Fuji IC and get off for about 35 minutes. ・Train Get off at JR Shin-Fuji Station, take the bus bound for Fuji 5th Station, get off at Asagiri Green Park stop, and walk 20 minutes
