What to expect
A must-try in Hokkaido in summer is [100% Shakotan Sea Urchin]. Visit the Shakotan Sea Urchin Restaurant, ※at your own expense※. The tasting period is limited, and the fresh and sweet Shakotan natural high-grade purple sea urchin bowl is directly purchased by a few qualified Shakotan sea urchin buyers. The whole bowl is full of bright yellow sea urchins, all of which are genuine Shakotan natural purple sea urchins. The sea urchin meat is distinct, which means it is fresh. Shakotan sea urchins are divided into purple sea urchins and horse dung sea urchins. The production of sea urchins is even smaller. If you are lucky enough to encounter them, I recommend sea urchin lovers to try them!
- [Reference price (including 110g of fresh sea urchin, pickles, and miso soup) The price will change according to the amount of catch - Purple sea urchin donburi: 6,000-10,000 yen, sea urchin donburi: 18,000-22,000 yen]
Go to the Shakotan Peninsula, the only marine park in Hokkaido known as "Shakotan Blue", taste the smooth [Shakotan Blue Soft Ice Cream], climb [Cape Kamui] ※ Enjoy the blue coast of the Shakotan Sea, and take in the beautiful scenery!
[Yoichi Sightseeing Orchard] ※, the orchard grows a variety of fruits, from strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums, to grapes, blueberries, Japanese pears and apples according to different seasons. The orchard uses organic compost for cultivation, and the taste is sweet and juicy. Pick fresh fruits and eat them all you can in the orchard, and enjoy the sweetness of Hokkaido's most seasonal agricultural products!!
Of course, you will not miss the hot spot of Otaru. Take the cable car to climb [Tengu Mountain] ※, take a panoramic view of the city of Otaru and the Sea of Japan, and take photos to commemorate the wonderful journey of the whole day.
※The orchard may not be open for picking experience due to planting conditions, and will be replaced by visiting Yoichi Winery ※If Cape Kamui is closed due to weather problems, it will be replaced by visiting Yoichi Winery or Shimabui Coast ※If the Tengu Mountain cable car is closed, it will be replaced by Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Shopping Street
