It's really close to the station, so you don't have to spend much time on transportation. 👍

Kushiro Fisherman’s Wharf MOO
It is a commercial complex located adjacent to the Nusamai Bridge at the Kushiro River’s mouth. MOO is an acronym for “Marine Our Oasis” and is popular as a symbol of the waterfront.
The Pacific saury here is big, fatty, and super tasty!

Kumano-Nachi Taisha
In 662 BC, Kamuyamato-iware-hikonomikoto (became Emperor Jinmu) dedicated Nachi Waterfall as a god in this shrine. It is the head shrine of Kumano Shrines all over in Japan, known as one of the three major Kumano Shrines. It has another name, “Musubi no Miya” which means the shrine to bring a marriage and wishes to come true.
We took breaks along the way to enjoy the scenery, and after a long walk, finally reached this World Heritage site. The waterfall is truly breathtaking!

Entsuin Temple
Entsuin Temple was built in 1647 as a family temple for Date Mitsumune, Date Masamune's grandson. Entsuin Temple is known for its beautiful autumn foliage, which is at its best from late October to mid-November. The garden, which was created around 350 years ago, is one of the most beautiful in the Tohoku region, centered on Shinji Pond and Mt. Potalaka, where Kannon Bosatsu (Goddess of Mercy) resided.
The temple grounds are filled with maple trees. Autumn is definitely the best time to visit—the scenery is just beautiful.
