4.5Shimamu Beach(217 reviews) - The Beauty of Vertical Drop Bodies of Water • Beaches
We walked through the 30-meter long narrow low dark tunnel, and found ourselves at the top of the vertical drop. At our feet, there lay the Shimamui Beach with the sea of Shakotan blue. The difference in altitude between the observation platform and the beach was about 70 meters. The trail was steep and narrow. We kept communicating with our legs and feet, taking our return trip to the observatory into consideration. My wife gave up in the middle of the descent. I kept on dropping, and reached the stony beach. The clear and clean water of the Shakotan-blue sea was lapping at pebbles, stones, and rocks. Sea fowls were flying around the 60-meter-tall folding-screen-like huge rock. I wished I could be a seabird to fly back the vertical drop.See more..

4.0Abashiri Coast(50 reviews) - Beat view from the water or the Tentozan viewing platform Spent < 1 hour Beaches • Lookouts
The Abashiri coast expanse can be viewed from the Aurora cruise ships on the Sea of Okhotsk, the Cape Notoro lighthouse, the Tentozan viewing platform, and a few places in town on the ridge. I think the Tentozan viewing platform gives the most expansive view, all the way from Cape Notoro on the west to the Shiretoko peninsula on the east. A good view of the coast may reward you with beautiful sunsets. I particularly like the rose hues on Shiretoko and Rause mountain ranges in the east. Viewed 2/19/2018See more..
This place is a must during the winter season. Despite the winter, the wind is not very cold and you can truly enjoy the time at the Otsu coast. Had a chance to see a little bit of the famous jewelry ice. That was actually the reason why I wanted to visit this place. Also, I saw a fox there. This is a very peaceful place. A good place for sunrise/sunset watching. Definitely recommend!See more..
