Hokkaido Shakotan-gun Shakotan occupies the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula in the Sea of Japan to the west of Hokkaido, and is a city with beautiful coastline, rich nature, fresh seafood, and a spectacular view of the "Shakotan Blue" sea, which shines blue like a jewel throughout the four seasons. In Shakotan, there are fishing ports such as Bikuni, Irika and Yobetsu, and herring fishing flourished until the Taisho period. Let's take a look at some of the most popular sightseeing spots in Shakotan, which is rich in nature. The symbol of the Shakotan Peninsula, "Golden Cape", is characterized by its beautiful precipitous cliffs. From Shakotan Tourism Association to Cape Kogane, it takes about 20 minutes to walk along the 560-meter promenade "Chashina Path" to reach the observatory. From the observatory Shakotan you can see the highly transparent cobalt blue sea and treasure island. Treasure Island has a circumference of 600 meters and is characterized by the shape of a heart when viewed from the sky. From the "Underwater Observation Ship New Shakotan", you can see the scenic spot of Cape Golden from the sea. Through the glass on the bottom of the boat, you can see fish and sea urchins swimming in Hokkaido's only marine park as if they were in your hands, and you can feel the marine ecosystem of Hokkaido up close. Cape Shakotan is also one of Shakotan's beautiful coastlines, with highly transparent and vivid blue waters. After passing through a small tunnel, you can visit the Shimamui coast, which has been selected as one of the "100 best beaches in Japan". It is the only cape in the Shakotan that can go down to the coast. If you walk along the "Shilara Path" with a total length of about 1,800 meters, you will arrive at the Merokoiwa Observatory in about 1 hour. There is a legend of Shirara, a maiden who fell in love with Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Next, I would like to introduce Cape Kamui. It takes about 26 minutes to walk along the "Charenka Path" promenade from the gate where women are prohibited to reach the tip of Cape Kamui, and a magnificent view of the Sea of Japan spreads out on both sides of the promenade, and the tip of the promenade is a superb view spot where you can see the surroundings 300 degrees. The Kamui Rock that can be seen below has the legend of the maiden Charenka standing in the sea. On the Shakotan Peninsula, you can also enjoy the great nature of the mountains. Mt. Shakotan is a 1255-meter mountain that is also home to brown bears. From the summit, which can be climbed in about 3 hours and 30 minutes, you can enjoy a superb 360-degree view as far as the eye can see. Next, we will introduce the specialty products of Shakotan. Speaking of Shakotan, fresh seafood!! In particular, "sea urchin" stands out among them, has a rich sweetness, and its taste is unforgettable once you eat it. There are many tourists who come to the Shakotan for fresh seafood such as sea urchins. Don't miss the information on Shakotan events and festivals. The "Tengu Fire Walking" of the "Bikuni Shrine Festival" held on July 4, 5, and 6 every year is a traditional event that has been held only here in Japan since the Edo period, and prays for maritime safety, good fishing, and a good harvest. Shakotan is full of natural beauty, fresh produce and great events that will put a smile on your face.

Around the roadside station "Thoroughbred Road Shinkaku", 26,000 light bulbs such as an illuminated tunnel and a 5-meter-high Christmas tree are displayed, making it an event that is appreciated by many townspeople as a winter tradition. Due to Coronavirus pandemic, the event was held by live streaming in 2020 and 2021, but last year in 2022, it was held normally for the first time in three years. A popular event in spring is the carp streamers swimming gracefully in the Niikappu sky!

Bibai City is served by National Route 12 connecting Sapporo and Asahikawa, and the section from Bibai City to Takikawa City is a straight road that continues all the way, and there is a road that boasts the longest straight-line distance in Japan. As for the weather and climate of Bibai City, a refreshing breeze blows through in spring, a cool climate continues in summer, and beautiful snowscapes spread out in winter. You can enjoy the atmosphere of the four seasons, and the beauty of each season brings new discoveries every time you visit. Introducing popular tourist spots in Bibai City! First of all, Miyajima Swamp is one of the world's leading spots where you can see migratory birds such as geese and swans. It is located about 30 minutes by bus from JR Bibai Station, and every year about 70,000 birds come from Russia far north of Hokkaido in spring and autumn. Especially in the early morning and evening, when you can see the herd, the sight of the sky and swamps filled in black is a masterpiece. In addition, the "Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park" is a tourist attraction not to be missed. Bibai City once flourished from coal mining. In this park, which was built on the site of the former coal mine, you can see a tower that transports coal from deep underground, and a raw coal pocket for storing coal. As a valuable tourist spot where the memories of the coal miners of the past coexist with the nature of the present, it was 2007 (Heisei 19) selected as an "Industrial Heritage of Modernization". Next is "KAN YASUDA SCULPTURE MUSEUM ARTE PIAZZA BIBAI". The works of world-renowned sculptor Kan Yasuda are exhibited here.

This shrine is watched over by an old tree that is over 900 years old, and you can experience "making bangle protection" from natural stone. On your trip to Bibai City, please enjoy delicious meals. In particular, Bibai City's "Bibai Yakitori" is a local gourmet that you can't miss. It is one of the seven major yakitori in Japan, and is made by skewering chicken, chicken liver, inner eggs, gizzards, and onions. As a local soul food, it is a popular gourmet for a wide range of generations from children to adults. Please try it when you come to Bibai. And "Torimeshi" It is a local dish that has been passed down for more than 100 years, and because rice, stir-fried meat, and motsu are cooked with soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and almost no other ingredients or seasonings are used, the aroma and taste have a strong chicken flavor, and it has a taste different from other mixed rice. We look forward to welcoming you with rich natural scenery, sightseeing spots where you can feel history and culture, delicious food, and warm hospitality! Stay tuned for future posts!
