Yanagihara, a tourism support staff member of the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers, wanted us to take many pictures of the scenery of Omu Town, so we set up "Photo Props" at the Roadside Station Omu Observatory and the Sunrise Cape Observation decks La Roux! In addition to the town character Ikura Sujiko-chan and Specialty Products Horsehair crab illustrations, there are more than 10 bottles such as original hashtags and speech bubbles. By all means, please use photo props to enjoy the scenery of Yubu and cute photos.

I accompanied her on a herring fishing trip. "I want to support the beaches of all provinces!" radio personality and Yoko Totsui also came to town urgently, and they thoroughly enjoyed the herring fishing in Omu Town, Okhotsk. The size of the herring, which is in season now, varies depending on the net you set. The Kichimaru embarkation used a large net, so a lot of thick and large fish were caught. The herring fishery is settling down, but it is lined up in stores here and there in the town. I would like you to try the herring from Yubu that is satisfying to eat.

From March 3rd, the work of lowering the boat (unloading the boat) was carried out, and on the 9th, the scallop fishing ground was created, and on the 16th, the horsehair crab basket fishing began. It is the dawn of the sea of Yumu. The creation of scallop fishing grounds is an important work to raise the fields in order to salvage the fish that could not be caught during last year's fishing season and to prepare for aquaculture from May. We haven't finished putting all the baskets for horsehair crab fishing, but the first day's catch was 4350 kg! More fish are landed than last year. Continuing from last year, it seems that there are more medium-sized and large crabs than small ones, and the initial price is about 3,000 yen higher per kilogram than last year, and the beach is crowded. There are still drift ice off the coast. We wish you a safe operation.

This is an announcement of the year-end and New Year holidays from the Yubu Town Tourism Association. It will be open until the 29th of the year. The New Year's business will start on January 9th. May the new year be a good one for all of you. For the first sunrise of the new year, be sure to go to Cape Hinode in Yubu Town!

Omu Town such as Cape Hinode, a popular scenic spot for the Sea of Okhotsk and sunrise, is full of sightseeing spots full of nature. On the coast of Okhotsk, you can also see drift ice from January to March.

Salmon fishing has begun in Omu Town. There are concerns about how this year's extreme heat will affect the salmon fishery, which recorded record profits last year. I hope it will be a big catch again this year. On September 24th, the Omu Treasure Umaimonmatsuri Festival will also be held. Starting with salmon, it is an event where Omu Town delicious mon is lined up.

The commemorative stamp of Roadside Station Oumu has been renewed. Like Omu Town, the roadside station and the official character Sujiko-chan are designed in the scallop frame. Even if you have pressed the previous design, please come and see the new stamp.

In COOL JAPAN VIDEOS's first post, we will introduce you to Omu Town and the highlights of Hokkaido Omu Town where you can enjoy delicious food. 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.

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. You can also sell Omu Town specialties, look for souvenirs, and enjoy local gourmet foods such as "Dattan Soba". 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.
