Cape Kamui: Located at the westernmost tip of the Shakotan Peninsula, Cape Kamui is a renowned cape in Hokkaido. Its name derives from the Ainu word "Kamui," meaning "goddess." Legend has it that a maiden transformed into a reef here to protect fishermen. The cape boasts spectacular cliff formations, and a trail extending into the sea offers 360-degree views of the azure waters of the Sea of Japan. If Cape Kamui is temporarily closed, a 30-minute visit to the Shimabui Coast will be offered instead.

13:00

Otaru Canal: Built in 1923, the Otaru Canal was an important logistics channel during the development of Hokkaido and is now an important cultural landscape of Japan. Along the 1,140-meter-long canal, there are 63 retro gas lamps and stone warehouses from the Meiji and Taisho periods, which have been renovated into glass workshops, restaurants and other specialty shops.

14:30

The Blue Cave (boat ticket not included) gets its name from the dreamy blue light created by sunlight reflecting off the seawater. The cave is 30 meters long and 15 meters high, and access requires a boat. Seagull feeding is available in summer. The best viewing time is during high tide, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, when the blue light effect is most pronounced on sunny days. (Boat ticket not included is at your own expense).

16:30

Shiroi Koibito Park: A chocolate theme park operated by Ishiya Confectionery Co., Ltd., named after the "Shiroi Koibito" cookie, a representative souvenir of Hokkaido. The park reproduces the architectural style of Yorkshire, England in the 19th century, and features a chocolate history museum, a production experience workshop, and a seasonal flower garden. The iconic clock tower performs music box puppet shows every hour
