This is the 36th Shakotan Tourism Photo Contest, and the application deadline is Friday, February 28, 2024, and applications are currently being accepted. There are two categories: "The Four Seasons of Shakotan" and "Memorable Shakotan Scenery ~ Theme: Smiles" There are two categories. For details, please see the image of the Held in leaflet.

Hello! Today, I would like to introduce a little bit of the autumn and winter scenery of Shakotan. When the summer season of June ~ August ends, the number of customers drops sharply in Shakotan, but for those who want to go sightseeing slowly and calmly rather than the crowded summer season ~ we recommend sightseeing after September. If the weather is good and the sun is out, it is not as Squid as the summer season, but you can see the beautiful color of the sea of Shakotan Roux. In front of the cape, pampas grass shines, and there is also an autumn scenery such as a larch highway like a movie location and a landscape with silos. Also, in winter, the waves crashing against the rocks are so beautiful that they are sometimes compared to ink paintings. Sometimes a cat greets you in front of an old stone warehouse in the port, and I hope you can enjoy the scenery of Shakotan not only in the summer season.

It has been postponed until 10/31, and the acclaimed campaign is still underway!

It is the Shakotan blue sea and Cape Kamui seen from the ShakotanKozaki Fishing Port of Hokkaido. Cape Kamui is a famous tourist spot and is crowded with many people, but there are few tourists who visit here.

Introducing the post of "Shakotan Tourism Association" COOL JAPAN VIDEOS official social media account! Hokkaido Shakotan is a town known for its beautiful sea and fresh seafood called Shakotan Blue. Cape Kamui is a popular scenic spot, and the horizon and Shakotan blue sea at the end of the Charenka Trail promenade are a must-see. At the shops in the area, you can also enjoy blue soft-serve ice cream. ◆Shakotan Shakotan-gun, Hokkaido◆ 【Address】Hokkaido Shakotan-gun Shakotan 【Access】About 90 minutes by car from Sapporo

Hello COOL JAPAN VIDEOS viewers. This time Shakotan we would like to introduce Cape Kamui at the tip of the peninsula. Cape Kamui, located a little over one and a half hours by car from Otaru, is designated as a Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park and is the only marine park in Hokkaido. Just as the Ainu words "Shaku = Summer" and "Kotan = Village" came to be called "Shakotan", the summer scenery is wonderful, and the vivid blue sea has come to be called "Shakotan Blue". If you walk along the 770-meter-long promenade "Charenka Path" from the parking lot of the cape, you can reach the tip in about 30 minutes, and you can see the surroundings 300 degrees from near the tip. On the promenade "Charenka's Path" there is the legend of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. ~Charenka Legend~ Charenka, the daughter of the chief who has strong feelings for Yoshitsune. However, Yoshitsune left for the continent, and Charenka followed him to Cape Kamui, but Yoshitsune's ship went far offshore. Charenka, who was grieving, threw herself into the sea with words of resentment, saying, "If you pass through here with a Japanese ship and a woman on board, you will capsize." With sorrow and resentment, Charenka's body turned into Kamui Rock, and since then, whenever a ship carrying a woman approached the vicinity, it capsized, making Cape Kamui a place forbidden to women. This rule continued until the early Meiji period. There is still a "gate forbidden to women" on Cape Kamui, but now women can also go through that gate to the tip. However, since Cape Kamui is originally a windy area, on days when winds of 13 meters or more blow, the gate forbidden to women is closed and it is not possible to go to the tip. From June ~ July, the Ezo daylily flowers are in full bloom, and on foggy days, you can see a very fantastic scenery. The cape, named Kamui, which means "god" in the Ainu language, has a very beautiful sunset and a superb view where you can feel the presence of the gods. In 2004, the Shakotan Peninsula and Cape Kamui were selected as Hokkaido Heritage Sites.

★ The 15th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held under the theme of "Recommended Japanese Sightseeing Spots in 2023" We're looking forward to seeing everyone's wonderful submissions! This time, we will introduce Kotori's post! The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the greenery is truly superb. Cape Kamui in the Shakotan of Hokkaido is a tourist attraction with magnificent scenery. The tip of the cape, where you can see the blue sea and horizon called Shakotan Blue Shakotan Blue, is a popular viewing spot. ◆Cape Kamui◆ 【Address】〒046-0321 Hokkaido Shakotan Kanmisaki-cho 【Access】 From JR Yoichi Station Take Shakotan Hokkaido Chuo Bus bound for Cape Kamui late April ~ late October about 1 hour 50 minutes Get off at the last stop and walk
