A beautiful, if not a little out of reach, place. Definitely worth the short walk from the carpark.

(Translated by Google) If you walk about 5 minutes from the parking lot, you will find monuments and bells. There was a sika deer and I was eating grass as a matter of course. It's a place with a nice view, but I couldn't use the toilet at the time (before GW). (Original) 駐車場から5分ほど歩くとモニュメントや鐘などがあります。 当たり前のようにエゾシカがいて草を食べてました。 景色が良い場所ですが、時期的（GW前）にトイレが使えなかったです。

(Translated by Google) Cape Aikappu, one of Akkeshi's most famous sights, was named with the idea of ​​"overcoming improbable difficulties and gaining the crown of love." The original name means "eye cup" (thing on the arrow) in Ainu language. This cape protruding into Akkeshi Bay is located on a cliff several dozen meters high, and you can see Daikokujima and Kojima, which are famous as seabird breeding grounds, in front of you, and Chikushi Koi Beach below. Masu. Alpine plants such as birch and Ezo spruce grow naturally in the surrounding area, making it the perfect place for forest bathing. In addition, there are facilities nearby such as a museum, Midori no Furusato Park, and a prefectural youth nature house where you can take a leisurely stroll. In 1992, the "Ai no Kane Bell Arch" was completed at Cape Aikappu, and it has gained popularity among visitors as a bell that grants wishes. (Original) 厚岸の代表的な名所である愛冠（あいかっぷ）岬は、『できそうもない困難を乗り越え愛の栄冠を得る』との思いで名づけられました。 原名はアイヌ語でアイ・カップ（矢の上のもの）の意で、矢の届かないところから『できない、届かない』という意味も持っています。 厚岸湾に突き出ているこの岬は数十mの断崖上にあり、眼前には海鳥繁殖地として有名な大黒島・小島を、眼下には筑紫恋海岸を望み、勇壮な景色を見ることができます。 周囲は高山植物のダケカンバやエゾマツなどの樹林が自生しており、森林浴に最適なところです。また、付近には博物館、緑のふるさと公園、道立少年自然の家などの施設があり、ゆっくり散策することもできます。 平成4年は愛冠岬に『愛の鐘ベルアーチ』が完成し、想いをかなえる鐘として訪れる人たちの人気を博しています。

Stunning!! Also a lot of wild deers

(Translated by Google) Yes, thankyou! This is Junjun from You Tube, who visited Hokkaido on a trip around Japan (his name is Junjun). There are a lot of deer and the poop bomb explodes! Are you watching what's going on? It's like ringing a bell. (Original) はいどうも！日本一周旅で北海道訪れたYou Tubeのジュンジュンです（名前はジュンジュン） 鹿が沢山いてうんこ爆弾炸裂！ こちらの様子を見てるのですかさず鐘を鳴らすように

(Translated by Google) It's about 500m from the parking lot to the cape, but be careful as there are deer caves😁The view from the cape is beautiful😆 (Original) 駐車場から岬に行くまで500m程度ありますが、鹿のう○ちが落ちてます気をつけて下さい😁岬からの景色は綺麗です😆

(Translated by Google) Park your car in the parking lot and walk for about 5 minutes through a dense grove of trees to reach a spacious grassland. If you follow the straight path through the grassland, you will see a monument in front of the cliffs of the cape. It was very quiet and there were wild deer grazing. (Original) 駐車場に車を駐め、鬱蒼とした木立の中を5分ほど歩くと広々とした草原に出ます。草原の中の一本道を進むと、岬の断崖の前にモニュメントがあります。すごく静かで野生の鹿が草を食んでいました。

(Translated by Google) A cape on the eastern Hokkaido/North Pacific seaside line. A spot that I love very much. It is an area that fascinates those who see it, with its far-reaching coastline and encounters with wild animals. (Original) 道東・北太平洋シーサイドラインにある岬。 筆者がこよなく愛するスポット。 遠く広がる海岸線、また野生の動物との出会い等、見るものを魅了するエリアだ。

(Translated by Google) Located in Akkeshi Town, eastern Hokkaido, This cape is located at the end of a forest road in a prefectural park. The forest road from the parking lot to the cape is rich in nature, You can also see many animals. Once you pass through there and the view opens up, there is a cape. It's refreshing to be able to enjoy the forest and the sea at the same time. You will encounter sika deer everywhere, so please be careful while driving. (Original) 北海道・道東、厚岸町にある、 道立公園の林道を抜けた先にある岬です。 駐車場から岬までの林道は自然豊かで、 動物も多く見かけることができます。 そこを抜け、視界が開けたところに岬はあります。 森と海を同時に味わえるのは爽快です。 至る所でエゾシカに遭遇しますので、運転中はご注意を。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by because the Sakura Festival was being held. It seems that it will be held from yesterday (2022.5.14), but it has already begun to disperse, so it is recommended to come to see it early! It was beautiful with beautiful cherry blossoms 🌸 (Original) ちょうど桜まつりが開催されていたので立ち寄りました。昨日(2022.5.14)からの開催のようですが、既に散りはじめましてましたので早めに見に来ることをオススメします！立派な桜で綺麗でしたよ🌸

(Translated by Google) I went to the oyster festival for the first time ✨ Personally, I don't like this food, but I cooked it with grilled oysters and steamed it on a wire rack, and it was so delicious~😋I overcame it, haha. I guess Akkeshi is the only one I can eat. The park is large, well-maintained, and usually crowded with children, and the restrooms were clean. Personally, many people bring their dogs with them. Please refrain from barking for a while 😓 We also have pets at home, so ~😔 (Original) 初✨牡蠣祭りに行って来ました😆🦪 個人的には苦手な食べ物でしたが網の上で焼牡蠣と蒸焼きして、美味しくて～😋克服した笑笑　厚岸しかダメかな😁 公園は広く、整備されてて普段はお子様達で賑わってそうでトイレ🚽もキレイでした～ 個人的には犬連れて来てる方も多々おり。吠えるのは、ちょっと勘弁して欲しいです😓私達もペット留守番させてるので～😔

(Translated by Google) Visited 2021/10/07. The walking path takes about 30 minutes and it feels good. The cherry blossom season will be great. There is also an oyster festival. (Original) 2021/10/07訪問。散策路は30分くらいでまわれて気分良し。桜の季節はサイコーでしょう。牡蠣の祭もある。

(Translated by Google) Autumn Akkeshi Oyster Festival, first visit🦪 It was the weekend, but it was the first thing in the morning, so it wasn't so crowded. If you have time, it would be nice to grill it yourself on a charcoal stand, but unfortunately this time I bought something that was already grilled. Three grilled oysters for 1,000 yen. Well, is that so? It's good to buy, but it may be a little different from the image. Also, delicious things are delicious, but it's a bit disappointing. The oysters I ate before were bigger and tastier. However, it felt good to eat outside, so next time I will bake and drink it myself 🍺 Also, chocolate bananas were sold, so I think it would be fun for families ☺️ (Original) 秋の厚岸カキ祭り、初めて来訪🦪 週末でしたが、朝イチだったので、そんなに混んでおらず。 時間があれば炭台等にて、自分で焼いて食べるのが良いのだが、今回は残念ながら焼いているものを購入。 焼きガキ３個で千円。まぁ、そんなもんですかねー。 購入したは良いけど、ちょっとイメージと違うかも。あと、美味しいことは美味しいけど、ちょっと残念な感じ。 以前、食べたカキの方が大きくて美味しかったような…。 ただ、外で食べるのは気持ちが良かったので、次回は自分で焼いて飲む🍺 また、チョコバナナなども販売していたので、家族連れでも楽しいと思います☺️

(Translated by Google) It is the venue for the Akkeshi Oyster Festival. This year in 2023, the event was held later than usual in November due to high water temperatures, and although it only lasted two days, the weather was good and it was a great success. The stage event was only on the second day. You can grill and eat raw oysters yourself. The prices of things like grilling tables have gone up, so we recommend bringing your own. There are many other things besides oysters. (Original) 厚岸牡蠣祭の会場になってます。今年2023年は水温が高かったためいつもより遅い11月開催で、更に2日間のみでしたが、天気も良く盛況でした。ステージイベントは2日目のみでした。生牡蠣など自分で焼いて食べられます。焼台など全体的に値上がりしていますので持ち込みがおすすめ。牡蠣以外にも色々あります。

(Translated by Google) Akkeshi Oyster Festival! You can buy grilled oysters (Maruemon), grilled surf clams, grilled crab, etc. and have a barbecue outside, or the staff will grill them for you and you can eat them inside your tent. The tent is yellow, so the photo looks yellow, but the plump oysters were very delicious! ! The cherry blossoms are blooming, so it's nice to have a barbecue outside! (Original) 厚岸牡蠣祭り！焼き牡蠣（丸えもん）ホッキ、焼きカニなど購入して外でバーベキューもできるし、お店の人が焼いてくれてテントの中でも食べられます。黄色のテントだったので写真も黄色に写っていますが、ぷりぷりの牡蠣はとっても美味しかったです！！桜も咲いているのでゆっくりお外でバーベキューもいいですね！

(Translated by Google) I've been there several times during the fall oyster festival. The grounds are spacious and you can spend time without being crowded with other customers. There are many stalls at the annual oyster festival, and you can easily get raw oysters and grills. You can eat oysters prepared at each restaurant, but you can also grill fresh oysters on a grill you rent or bring. Many people came to the 2022 Autumn Oyster Festival with high expectations for the first time in three years, but the event was shorter than usual and there were fewer stalls, so even if you struggled to get in, raw oysters were out of stock and the grilling tables were empty. There was a shortage of food, and there were long lines to buy grilled oysters and other food. We hope that things will improve in 2023. (Original) 秋の牡蠣祭りで数回行ったことがあります。敷地が広く、他のお客さんと密にならずに過ごすことができます。 例年の牡蠣祭りでは出店が多く、生牡蠣も焼き台も余裕で手に入れることができます。各店で調理されたものを食べることもできますが、レンタルもしくは持参の焼き台で新鮮な牡蠣を焼いて食べることができます。 2022年秋の牡蠣祭りでは、３年ぶりという期待感でたくさんの人が訪れましたが、例年より開催期間も時間も短く出店も少ないため、苦労して入場しても生牡蠣が品切れ、焼き台も不足、焼き牡蠣やその他の食べ物を買うために大行列という有り様でした。 2023年は改善されることを期待しています。

(Translated by Google) The flowers bloomed earlier than usual, and there weren't many people, so it was nice to be able to see them slowly. I don't have any photos at night, but it was lit up and it was beautiful as well. I hope it doesn't get scattered until after the Cherry Blossom Festival... (Original) いつもより開花が早く、人もまばらでゆっくり見れてとても良かったです。 夜には写真は無いんですがライトアップしていてこれもまた綺麗でした。 この後の桜まつりまで散らなければ良いですけど……。

(Translated by Google) Every year, it is the venue for the Akkeshi Oyster Festival for about a week in spring and fall. Families gather together around a charcoal grill and eat mainly oysters, but also buy shishamo, whelk, and shrimp. The stalls also sell grilled oysters, seafood skewers, and alcohol, so you can enjoy them without bringing anything. If you're going to the oyster festival on a Saturday or Sunday, it's best to arrive around 10 a.m. or after 2 p.m. Lunchtime is the busiest time, so there was a long line at the oyster shop. (Original) 毎年、春と秋に一週間ほど厚岸牡蠣まつりの会場になります。 家族連れは仲間内で炭火の焼台を囲んで牡蠣をメインにして、ししゃも、つぶ貝、ホッカイシマエビなんか買い求めて食します。 また、出店でも焼き牡蠣や海産物の串もの、お酒なんかも販売しているので手ぶらで楽しむこともできます。 土日に牡蠣まつりに行くときは、午前10時頃や午後2時過ぎに到着するようにしたほうが快適です。 昼時が一番混雑するため、牡蠣の店は行列を作っていました。

(Translated by Google) We have served you many times at the Oyster Festival. Akkeshi oysters are delicious and not salty. It's nice that Umiemon comes every time. I rent a grill every time, but this time I didn't have enough charcoal so I couldn't cook at all.When I went to get charcoal, they had given it to me for free before, but this time I had to pay an additional 500 yen. Are you doing it? The person next to me who came after me also said that it wouldn't burn at all, so I gave him the remaining charcoal. Since you are paying a certain amount of money to rent a table, I would like you to be considerate and make sure you put in the charcoal that is worth the price from the beginning. So ⭐️3, next time I'll give it a 5 if the charcoal is properly contained. (Original) 牡蠣祭りで何度もお世話になっています。 厚岸の牡蠣は、塩っぱくなく美味しいです。 毎回うみえもんも来てくれて良いですねー。 毎回焼き台を借りるのですが、今回は炭が少なくって全然焼けない、炭をもらいに行くと前は無料でくれてたけど今回は追加で500円掛かりました、それが前提で炭を少なくしているのか？後から来た隣の人も全然焼けないと言っていたので、残っている炭をあげました。台を借りるお金もそれなりに払っているんだから人の気持ちになって、初めから料金に見合う炭をちゃんと入れて欲しいです。 なので⭐️3、次回ちゃんと炭が入ってたら5にします。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in a while. The cherry blossoms were blooming and the air was clear. Is the Goshuin a copy? It is available at the shrine office and you can enter the date yourself for 300 yen. It looks like you can take a tour inside. Ezo Sankanji stamp rally was held. (Original) 久々にに参拝しました。桜も咲いていて空気が澄んでいました。 御朱印はコピーでしょうか？社務所に置いてあり自分で日付を入れ300円。中は見学できるようです。蝦夷三官寺スタンプラリーやってました。

(Translated by Google) I visited Kokutaiji without any prior knowledge. I didn't know anything about the historical background, so I didn't have any honest opinions. When I was looking at other people's posts, I saw things like wild birds, cherry blossoms, and buildings, so I guess it's the timing. There were quite a few wild birds, and I was able to enjoy them both aurally and visually. If you come to Akkeshi, you might want to stop by on your trip. If you are driving, you will only need to cross the bridge and will arrive in about 10 minutes. (Original) 前知識なく訪問した国泰寺。歴史的背景も何も知らないので、率直な感想は何もなかったです。 他の方の投稿を見ていたら、野鳥であったり、桜であったり建物であったりとありますが、タイミングでしょうね。 野鳥はけっこういて、聴覚と視覚で自分なりに楽しめました。 厚岸に来たら旅行がてら寄ってみるのもありでしょう。車なら橋渡るだけなので10分程度で到着します。

(Translated by Google) The grounds were very nice and relaxing. There is also a museum next door, which is small but can be visited for 100 yen. You can also tour the inside for 100 yen. There were many impressive maki-e works. Since it was a festival day, the stamps were left there. I'm sure he must be busy, but I'm disappointed in the date part (;A;) (Original) 敷地内がとても素敵で落ち着く所でした。隣に資料館もあり小さいですが100円で見学できます。中も100円で見学できました。迫力のある蒔絵が沢山ありました。 お祭りの日だったので、御朱印は置いてありました。忙しいんだろうなぁとは思いますが、日付部分が残念です(；A；)

(Translated by Google) As a point of contact with the eastern Ainu, Akkeshi became a base for the management of the East Ezo region during the Kanei era (1624-44), and in the Bunka 1 year (1804), Kokutaiji Temple (now the ruins of Kokutaiji Temple), one of the three Ezo temples, was established there. It was written. Today, the area is still famous for its oysters and its plant community, which is a natural monument. Oysters from Akkeshi are very delicious thanks to the plants 😋 During the oyster season, we receive them from Akkeshi every year. (Original) 東部アイヌとの接触点として厚岸は寛永年中(1624-44)には東蝦夷地経営の基地となり文化元年(1804)には蝦夷三官寺の一つ国泰寺(今は国泰寺跡)が置かれた。 今も牡蠣と天然記念物の植物群落が名物となっている。 厚岸の牡蠣は植物のおかげでとても旨い😋牡蠣の時期には毎年毎年毎年厚岸から送って貰っている。

(Translated by Google) Famous spot for cherry blossoms. My parents' house is close by, and I used to play around here when I was little. It's a place I love and feel at ease. You can see herds of deer coming down from the mountains, and it's close to the ocean, so it's perfect for a walk. (Original) 桜の名所。実家がすぐ近くにあり、小さい頃はこの辺りで遊んでいました。大好きで落ち着ける場所です。山から降りてくるシカの群れが見れたり、海も近いので散策に最適です。

(Translated by Google) The day before the Kushiro Walk, I went to Akkeshi and walked around Akkeshi Temples and Shrines. The main attraction in Akkeshi is Kokutaiji, one of the three Ezo temples. I have visited Usu Zenkoji and Toshoin so far, so I was hoping to visit Kokutaiji as well. I arrived at Kokutaiji Temple after walking about 4km from Akkeshi Station. There is a hollyhock crest on the temple gate, reminding us that it was a government temple. The garden is also splendid, and when you enter through the main gate, you can see wild sika deer there as well. As soon as our eyes met, he ran away. You can visit the main hall for 100 yen. I put 100 yen into the offering box and was given money. I visited the shrine and looked at the pictures of hell and paradise displayed on the wall. There was a goshuin stamp placed at the entrance of the main hall, so I paid 300 yen. There are Ryuo-den and Bato Kannon-do within the precincts, each with a hollyhock crest and fine carvings. Nearby is the remains of Shinmei Shrine, which is the predecessor of Akkeshi Shrine. We took a walk around the area and prayed before heading to our next destination. (Original) 釧路ウォークの前日、厚岸まで足を延ばして厚岸寺社ウォークをしました。 厚岸でのお目当ては蝦夷三官寺の一つである国泰寺です。 これまで有珠善光寺と等澍院は参拝していますので、なんとか国泰寺も参拝したいと思っていました。 厚岸駅から4キロ弱を歩いて国泰寺に着きました。 山門には葵の御紋があり、官寺であったことを偲ばせます。 庭園も立派なもので、山門をくぐって入るとそこには野生のエゾシカもいました。 目が合うとすぐに逃げられてしまいましたが。 本堂は100円で拝観できます。 御賽銭箱に100円を納め、上がらせていただきました。 お参りをさせていただき、掲示されている地獄図極楽図を眺めてきました。 本堂の入口に御朱印の書置きが置かれてましたので、300円を納めていただいてきました。 境内には龍王殿と馬頭観音堂があり、それぞれ葵の御紋がつけられ、立派な彫刻も施されています。 その近くには神明宮跡もあり、この神明宮が厚岸神社の前身です。 そのあたりを散策とお参りをして次の目的地を目指しました。

(Translated by Google) A long time ago, this place was used as a fortress during the invasion of Russia... Although it is not impressive enough to be called a cherry blossom viewing spot, the oysters at this time of year are the best! (Original) その昔ロシア侵略の砦としてこの地に・・・ 桜の名所と呼ばれる程感動はなしでもこの時期の牡蠣は最高！

There is a tiny sign once you get there that says there is no shop or tours. I’d highly suggest changing this title to distribution plant or something as the title now leads you to believe there is a storefront. Since we drove out of our way and wasted time and I can see in reviews this isn’t the first incident like this I’d really recommend making sure the fact that this is a plant only rather than a normal distillery with a tour like what you’d experience in other countries.

Says online that it is open, but when arrive after driving several hours it is closed. Need to ensure opening times are updated

(Translated by Google) There is nothing for sale, nor is it possible to tour. However, if you think that this place is the Akkeshi whiskey distillery, it is a place you have to visit at least once. (Original) 何か販売されていることもなく、見学ができるわけでもありません。ただこの場所があの厚岸ウイスキーの蒸溜所だと思うと一度は行かないといけない場所ではあります。

(Translated by Google) Miraculously, I found one at a certain hotel in Hokkaido. Purchase without hesitation. I had a faint hope that I might be able to buy some whiskey from Akkeshi, but to no avail. Apparently it's on sale at a nearby Conchiglie store, but it's sold out quickly. (Original) 道内の某ホテルで奇跡的に1本発見。迷わず購入。 もしかしたら厚岸産のウイスキーが買えるかもと淡い期待を抱きつつもやはり駄目。近くのコンキリエで販売しているらしいがすぐに完売とのこと

(Translated by Google) This is a whiskey distillery that you can't drink or buy when you come to Akkeshi. There's nothing here either, it's just a place to take commemorative photos from the outside. It would be a tourist attraction if you could tour it or have a shop, but you can only see the building from the outside. Whiskey lovers still come. (Original) 厚岸に来て飲むことも買うこともできないウィスキーの蒸留所。ここにも何があるわけでもなく、外から記念撮影するだけの場所になっている。見学ができたり売店があったりすると観光名所になるのだが、あくまで外から建物を見るだけ。それでも来てしまうのがウィスキー愛好家。

(Translated by Google) Is delicious. Full bottles of cold water and rainwater are being released smoothly from Newborn. Everything is delicious. My favorite is the peated Newborn. (Original) 美味しいです。 ニューボーンからフルボトルの寒露、雨水と順調にリリース。 総てが美味しいです。 一番好きなのはピーテッドのニューボーンです。

(Translated by Google) It was smaller than I expected. (Original) 思っていたより小さかった。
