It's like another world! A "beautiful view" spotted on a remote island in Hokkaido. "It's the best memory I'll ever have.
Okushiri Island is a remote island in the Sea of Japan at the southwestern tip of Hokkaido. The "too beautiful scenery" that suddenly appeared on the island has become a hot topic on SNS.
The world is just like this when you step out of your lodge.
Quote from @ima_coco30's post
"Amazing sunset!" The place where this view can be seen is the guesthouse "imacoco" on Okushiri Island. We asked the owner, Mr. Tonozaki, about this video, which gives an extraordinary feeling.
Watching the sunset while having dinner
Guesthouse "imacoco" offers a beautiful sunset view from the inn, depending on the weather. While eating dinner, Mr. Tonoizaki says, "Today's sunset is especially nice," a conversation he has with his family every day. The video posted here shows the time when everyone stopped chopsticks and ran outside together after spotting a striking sunset in the midst of their daily routine.
imacoco is an inn that values encounters and emotional experiences. Whether you come alone or with others, we want you to share the same time with everyone who happens to be there and enjoy the encounters you have on your trip," said Mr. Tonozaki.
The Charm of Okushiri Island: Doing Nothing
We asked Mr. Tonozaki what he thinks is the charm of Okushiri Island and what he would like people to experience on the island.
Beech forest on Okushiri Island
SUP experience in Okushiri Blue
In spring and fall, it's a guided tour of the beech forest, and in summer it's a SUP tour. However, it is best to spend the day tuning your mind to the weather. One of the charms of the island is its "do nothing" atmosphere.
The island is often described as "nothing". But that is only because there are few man-made things, and even if there are few things, we have all the things that make our family happy. In the city, there are so many things that it is difficult to notice what is truly necessary, and it is also difficult to be thankful.
I would be happy if this extraordinary space, stripped of excess, could provide an opportunity for people to reflect on what is truly important in their lives.
Let's share the miracle that is already here.
Encounters and experiences created in an extraordinary space. When you come to Okushiri Island, please spend a heartwarming time unique to the island.
