    最初は、子供ビビるやろなぁ、めちゃくちゃ痛い演技してビビらせたろwくらいの気持ちで指パク体験に挑みましたが、こちらは遊びでもチョウザメからしたら餌と認識してるわけです。その、餌と認識されている圧に怖気付いてしまい、10分ほどギャーギャー言いながら手を出しては引っ込めを繰り返し最終的には手を噛ませましたが全然痛くは無かったです。でも、曲がりなりにもサメと呼ばれる生き物がウヨウヨいる水槽に、餌と認識さ...

    This facility was opened in April 1995 to serve as a base for protecting and observing the natural beauty of Shunkunitai. Shunkunitai is a 596 hectare shoal located in Nemuro City, Hokkaido. Included in the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands list, the shoal is a breeding ground for rare birds such as white-tailed eagles and Japanese cranes; it has also been designated an Important Wild Bird Habitat. The center has a photo exhibit presenting the animals that live in Nemuro and a bird watching room for observing overwintering Stellar's sea eagles and other birds living in the area. The center also provides two hour walking tours during which you can see a variety of wild creatures.

    定期観光バスのノサップ号で訪問しました。根室は野鳥の宝庫で、ここに着く前にタンチョウも見れました。遠くからですが。つがいが数家族いるみたいです。なぜ野鳥がこんなにいるのか丁寧に説明してもらえます。

    Hokkaido Nemuro-shi Kotohiracho 1-4
    This ancient temple apparently began with a temple dedicated to three deities as a protective spirit during early fishing market restrictions by Hokkaido settler Takadaya Kahei. As Hokkaido was opened to settlement, the shrine gathered more and more reverence as a guardian spirit of household and family safety, as well as fisheries, animal husbandry, and commerce. Most years, August sees its grand festival, the city's biggest event. It's a parade of beautiful portable shrines, with over 200 hundred lined up under the sky. People come to join from all over the country to join in this symbol of Nemuro's summer.

    ノサップ号の観光バスで今年も訪問しました。館内に過去の例大祭のビデオ放映がありますが、かなり規模が大きいです。コロナで中止になっていましたが今年は復活できそうで、また来たいですね。入り口に展望台があって、そこからの眺めが気に入ってます。

    Hokkaido Nemuro-shi Honioi 110-9
    "This facility is a place to connect the cultures of Japan (""Ni"" from Nihon) Russia (""Ro"" from Roshia) through Hokkaido (""Ho"" from Hokkaido). It offers education about the history and lifestyle of the Northern Territories. The center's number one claim to fame is the observation room packed with audio-visual aids. They offer support in English and in Russia, and encourage learning for visitors of all ages. There is also a Russian culture room where you can get a real taste of the country's culture, and the Northern Territories museum, to see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears about this unique part of Japan's history, the Northern Territories."

    観光バスノサップ号で訪問しました。すごく立派な施設です。最初に15分くらいの説明映画を見て館内を自由見学。2階には江戸時代の木造船の模型もあります。ロシアとの文化交流の機会もあるようで、きれいな部屋もありました。北方領土のことがよくわかります。

    Hokkaido Nemuro-shi Hanasakiminato 209
    This museum is a red brick building built in 1942 as the Nemuro Detachment Office of the Ominato Navy Signal Unit, and presently collects, stores and exhibits materials on the history and nature of Nemuro City and its surroundings. It has precious materials, such as a drawing of a Russian ship drawn when Laxman visited Japan, boundary stones placed on the 50 degrees north latitude line in Karafuto and showed the border between Japan and Russia, and Chishima sea otter specimens.

    スリッパをはいて上がります。 入口は狭いですが中は広く、展示物は歴史、自然と幅広いです。 定観バスで行ったので立ち寄り時間25分ではとても足りませんでした。 始めてロシアが根室を訪れたラクスマンに関する展示、とても詳しい。 ラッコの毛皮、執務されていた女性の方に声掛けしたら見せて頂きました。手で触れることができて、ふわふわ、乱獲されたのが良くわかりました。 難点は、根室中心部から遠いところ、車が無...

    Hokkaido Nemuro-shi Matsumotocho 2-2
    This is a famous cherry blossom spot in Nemuro, famous for being the end of the Cherry Blossom season in Japan. It's located about a ten-minute walk from Nemuro Station, and the grounds are planted with Chishima cherry trees over 150 years old. The Chishima cherry trees were replanted from Kunashiri Island in the early Meiji period, and are also called Etorofu and Kunashiri cherry. They are marked by being much shorter than other cherry tree varieties. The official Full Bloom Announcement for Nemuro, which usually comes in May, is made based on a Chishima cherry tree standard at the former Nemuro Weather Measurement Station. This is the nation's only Chishima cherry tree standard, and many people come from all over Japan to see the spring at the eastern edge of Japan.
  • Hoppokan Nostalgia House

    Hokkaido Nemuro-shi Nosappu 36-6
    This facility is inside Bokyo no Misaki Park, at the eastern tip of Cape Nosappu. It was built to display materials helping to locate the Northern Territories. The local geography and poor climate conditions result in lots of days with terrible fog, restricting vision, so this facility was built to help encourage public recognition and to support the spirits of those who once lived on the islands. It helps educate the public about the origins and history of the islands. There are also displays of materials relating to the lifestyles of the residents who called the islands home, as well as the old city scape and maps showing the old addresses, all filled with prayers for the lost homes. It's a wonderful place to learn about these historic islands.

    Hokkaido Nemuroshi Nosappu
    The symbol statue commemorating the return of the Northern Territories stands in Bokyonomisaki Park at Cape Nosappu. It was constructed with the strong desire for the return of the northern territories and the “Fire of Prayer” at the base of the statue burns continuously during opening hours of the Hoppokan (Northern Hall).

    実家の祖父からのお付き合いです。とてもいいお寺と思っていました。親が亡くなり自宅葬にしたい旨を伝え、戒名をお願いしたところ『お葬式をしなければ戒名は書かない、簡単には渡すことはできない』6分間の話し合いは無駄でした。そして『うちが嫌ならよそのお寺さんに書いてもらってください』住職さんの奥さんに言われ、途方に暮れました。 そんなお寺です。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
