The inn has a unique traditional farmhouse design, which is really charming. All the meals use local farm ingredients. It's especially convenient for older guests who might have trouble getting around—they have fully automated golf carts and cable cars. Just press a button and you can easily get back to the hotel. Such a thoughtful service!

Shizukuishi Ski Resort
Shizukuishi Ski Resort is located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. In 1993, it served as the venue for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, establishing its reputation as a world-class ski resort. Its signature attraction is the downhill course, with a maximum length of 2,648 meters and varied terrain. A total of 16 courses are available, ensuring fun for beginners, advanced skiers, and families alike.
The runs are planned out pretty well. Beginners to intermediate skiers can have a lot of fun without feeling intimidated the moment they get up there.
The lift ride is smooth too. Best part: on a clear day you can see Mt. Iwate. Skiing with that view is a huge plus—you’ll keep wanting to stop and take photos. -
Futagami Mountain Manyo Line
Mt. Futagami, with an elevation of Approx. 274 meters, stands near the border between Takaoka City and Himi City in Toyama Prefecture. The Futagami Mountain Manyo Line is an Approx. 8-kilometer scenic driving route that runs along the mountain ridge. On clear days, it offers spectacular views of Toyama Bay and the Noto Peninsula on one side, and the Tateyama Mountain Range on the other. From the observation deck near the summit, you can take in a panoramic view of Takaoka City.
This route has a really local feel to it. The scenery along the way is pleasant, with mountain views and little town landscapes. The ride isn’t long, but it’s very relaxing.
If you’re not in a rush, it’s actually pretty soothing to just sit back and enjoy it slowly. It works well as a small side trip. -
Cape Chikyu
A scenic cape jutting into the Pacific Ocean from the southernmost tip of the Etomo Peninsula in Muroran, Hokkaido, where you can look out over the Pacific from cliffs rising more than 100 meters high. The cape offers a sweeping 360-degree panorama, and on clear days you can see Hokkaido Komagatake, Mount Esan in Hakodate, and even the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture. If you're lucky, you may also spot dolphins and whales migrating through the area from spring to summer.
Absolutely spectacular! As soon as you get there, you’re greeted by an endless blue ocean. The horizon where the sea meets the sky is so soothing, and on a clear day the view feels incredibly wide, like you’re standing at the edge of the world. The sea breeze is really strong, so hold onto your hat. The photos turn out amazing too. Definitely worth adding to your Hokkaido itinerary!
