It's known as one of Japan's three most beautiful festivals, with the Sanno Festival in spring and the Hachiman Festival in autumn. Everyone, young and old, gets involved in the festivities. Lots of international tourists come too, so it's really hard to find a hotel room during the festival.

I ordered the shoyu ramen. The broth had a layer of oil on top and lots of sesame seeds sprinkled over it. The two pieces of fatty chashu were flavorful and delicious, and the taste wasn't too salty. I was really satisfied.

Iimoriyama offers several hiking routes for visitors, with different levels of difficulty and length. Of course, you can also just take the escalator. Most trails pass through beautiful forests and mountain paths, making for a pleasant hiking experience.

Oshinkoshin Waterfall is about 30 meters tall, and the water drops straight down from above—it's really impressive. When you climb up to the Oshinkoshin observation deck, you get an amazing view of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Shiretoko mountains. I couldn't help but be in awe of how nature created such a beautiful place. It's definitely worth a visit for these stunning views.
