Hokkaido's summer is breathtakingly beautiful! I can't allow anyone to still not know about this hidden gem!

🌊Shakotan Peninsula·Cap Shiri Blue

💙The ocean here is unrealistically blue! Like someone spilled a whole bottle of Tiffany ink💎

💚The mountain trails are wrapped in greenery, every snapshot looks like a scene from a Miyazaki anime

📸At the end of the trail, you can photograph the surreal rock formations - the sound of waves crashing is incredibly soothing~

⏰Best time

You must wake up early! 7-9am has fewer crowds and perfect light

(Noon sun is brutally strong☀️don't ask how I know)

🚶‍♀️Hiking tips

▫️20 minutes one way? Not a chance! We spent a full hour taking photos😂

▫️Wear comfortable shoes! Some sections are quite steep

▫️Apply sunscreen like your life depends on it! The coastal UV will teach you a lesson

💔Dark legend

This place actually had a "no women allowed on boats" taboo?!

(Ancient people were masters of passing blame😅)

🌟Hidden surprise

You might spot adorable seals on the rocks if you're lucky...

💡Tips: Bring a waterproof phone case! Waves can surprise you
