The Yotaka Andon Matsuri, held every August in Numata Town, is one of Hokkaido's three great lantern festivals.
The highlight, the "Kenka Andon," is a unique spectacle you can only see at this festival in all of Hokkaido! 👀
The sight of giant lantern floats, 7 meters high, 12 meters long, and weighing 5 tons, crashing into each other is a moment you should definitely witness at least once.

The Shakotan Blue sea boasts a beauty distinct from the blue of the sky.
Furthermore, the tip of the cape is a viewpoint where you can enjoy a beautiful 300-degree panoramic view!
Sunflowers Near the Airport (Ozora Town)
When the sunflowers bloom, a stunning view unfolds at Memanbetsu Airport. People from all over the country gather to catch a glimpse of this scene.
The sight of a plane gracefully enveloped by a carpet of sunflowers against the sunset is a precious view that even locals rarely get to see.

A large airplane flying over lovely sunflowers. It almost looks like it's landing in the sunflower field!
The gradient of the evening sky adds to the beauty of this shot.
