Precious wild sea otters inhabit Cape Kiritappu in Hamanaka Town, east of Hokkaido. While locals and tourists alike visit to watch and be healed by the adorable sea otters, a newborn baby sea otter has been posted on SNS and its cuteness has been attracting a lot of attention.

Quote from @Zitaku_Onsen3's post.

The fluffy baby and the mother sea otter have been attracting comments on social networking sites from people fainting in agony at the cuteness of the baby and the mother, saying that they are "cute" and "want to be the sea. According to the owner of the post, "Onenyu Onsen-no-Hito," the baby was "only about 10 days old" when this photo was taken in mid-May. The sight of its tiny body swimming frantically makes me smile.

When they're full, they start napping.

At Cape Kiritappu, there are opportunities to see schools of wild sea otters throughout the year. Why not observe and photograph them, while observing the rules of the neighborhood, and watch the wild sea otters live their lives in a carefree manner?
