After meeting your tour conductor, we’ll take a comfortable bus and head toward the breathtaking coastal beauty of the Shakotan Peninsula, a hidden gem in Hokkaido famous for its brilliant blue waters, dramatic cliffs, and exquisite sea urchin delicacies. Our first stop is at the newly opened Michi-no-Eki Furubira, a roadside station that opened in spring 2025. Nestled in a small fishing town along the Sea of Japan, this modern facility offers a glimpse into local life and regional flavors. Browse local specialties, discover fresh Hokkaido produce and seafood, or simply stretch your legs while enjoying the peaceful coastal atmosphere. It’s a refreshing stop before we dive into the wild beauty of Shakotan.
Next, we visit Shimamui Coast, one of only five places in Hokkaido selected for the prestigious “100 Best Shores in Japan.” As you step out onto the observation deck, you’ll be greeted by an awe-inspiring view of sheer cliffs plunging into the crystal-clear sea. The coastal path leading through a tunnel carved into the rock adds a touch of adventure, while the panoramic view from the cliffside is a perfect photo opportunity. The rugged beauty of the shoreline, shaped by centuries of wind and waves, captures the wild essence of northern Japan.

We did not get to see shakuten peninsula and walk due to bears on the peninsula. If it is a seasonal issue don’t run the trip

Beautiful places, 100% worth visiting. The tour guide speaks Japanese but translates all the basic stuff to English using cellphone so there are no communication issues. It is even more interesting as you go on a tour with local people. And the guide lady really cares and took care of us. Lunch they provide is awesome too. It was foggy at first but then visibility got better. Highly highly recommended!
