Shizukuishi Ski Resort
Shizukuishi Ski Resort is located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. In 1993, it served as the venue for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, establishing its reputation as a world-class ski resort. Its signature attraction is the downhill course, with a maximum length of 2,648 meters and varied terrain. A total of 16 courses are available, ensuring fun for beginners, advanced skiers, and families alike.
The runs are planned out pretty well. Beginners to intermediate skiers can have a lot of fun without feeling intimidated the moment they get up there.
The lift ride is smooth too. Best part: on a clear day you can see Mt. Iwate. Skiing with that view is a huge plus—you’ll keep wanting to stop and take photos. -
Cape Chikyu
A scenic cape jutting into the Pacific Ocean from the southernmost tip of the Etomo Peninsula in Muroran, Hokkaido, where you can look out over the Pacific from cliffs rising more than 100 meters high. The cape offers a sweeping 360-degree panorama, and on clear days you can see Hokkaido Komagatake, Mount Esan in Hakodate, and even the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture. If you're lucky, you may also spot dolphins and whales migrating through the area from spring to summer.
Absolutely spectacular! As soon as you get there, you’re greeted by an endless blue ocean. The horizon where the sea meets the sky is so soothing, and on a clear day the view feels incredibly wide, like you’re standing at the edge of the world. The sea breeze is really strong, so hold onto your hat. The photos turn out amazing too. Definitely worth adding to your Hokkaido itinerary!

Hamanako Orgel Museum
The museum showcases around 70 automatic instruments, including music boxes from the 19th to early 20th centuries, self-playing pianos and organs, automata (mechanical dolls), and phonographs. Perched atop Mt. Okusa on the shores of Lake Hamana, the museum is connected by a ropeway that glides across the lake.
They have all kinds of antique and unique music boxes on display, and you can even enjoy live performances. The sound is so clear and soothing. The atmosphere feels both romantic and cozy—perfect for a date or a family outing. Listening to music while taking in the lake view just melts all your stress away!
