Jutting dynamically into the Sea of Japan from the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula, Cape Kamui is one of Hokkaido's most breathtaking scenic spots. Steeped in mystical history as a place once forbidden to women, it features a ridge-line trail called the "Charenka Path." A 20-minute walk along this path rewards visitors with a stunning 300-degree panoramic view that reveals the curvature of the Earth. The cape is surrounded by a miraculously vibrant and transparent blue sea, famously known as "Shakotan Blue." With the iconic Kamui Rock standing at its tip and the ruggedly beautiful cliffs, this overwhelming natural masterpiece never fails to captivate all who visit.

Akaigawa Village

Akaigawa Village, in the Yoichi district of the Shiribeshi region of Hokkaido, is a small community of around 1,100 residents formed over 1,100 years ago when a volcanic caldera collapsed, creating an extraordinarily rare bowl-shaped farming landscape enclosed on all sides by mountains.
