(Translated by Google) Yes, thankyou! This is Junjun from You Tube, who visited Hokkaido on a trip around Japan (his name is Junjun). The scenery is not good due to the weather, but it's perfect for a rest stop during your trip. After drinking crab soup, it was twilight, and it was a day when I wanted to be more like a bird flying in the sky than a crab. (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) 景色は天候いまいちだたが旅の休憩所にはもってこい カニ汁を飲んだ後たそがれいずれ俺もカニより空を飛び回る鳥になりたいと思った1日だたさ

(Translated by Google) Start the morning at Cape Nosappu and stop by on your way to Kushiro I hadn't planned on it, but since the weather was nice, I went to the observation deck with high expectations. I was able to see a spectacular view that exceeded my expectations. If the weather is nice, it's worth seeing as much as Kushiro Marsh! Best of all, there are fewer people and it's more comfortable. (Original) 納沙布岬で朝を迎え釧路方面を目指す途中で立ち寄り 予定には入れてなかったが天気の良さもあって期待しながら展望台へ 期待以上の絶景を拝むことができました。 釧路湿原にも引けを取らないくらいに天気良ければこっちも見応えありですよ! 何より人が少なく快適です

(Translated by Google) A few years ago, I casually stopped by the observation deck on the North Pacific Seaside Line, which overlooks the Kiritappu Wetland and the Pacific Ocean, and I was captivated by the view. This time, after setting up my tent at Kiritappu Misaki Campground, I revisited the area, and the scenery was something I would like to experience over and over again. The next day, unfortunately it was raining, but I stopped by, recorded some videos, and compared them.I was able to feel the vast nature and thought it was a very nice place. (Original) 何年か前に、何気なく立ち寄った北太平洋シーサイドラインにある展望台は、霧多布湿原と太平洋を一望でき、その景色に見惚れてしまいます。 今回、きりたっぷ岬キャンプ場でテント設営後、改めて再訪しましたが、その景色は幾度となく味わいたいと思えるものでした。 翌日、あいにくの雨でしたが立ち寄り、録画をして見比べ、広大な自然を感じられ、とても良いところだと思いました。

(Translated by Google) 2023 Hokkaido bike trip. You will come across it while driving along the North Pacific Sea Sideline driving course. No matter where you look, beautiful scenes come into view. Erimo Cape, which I went to the day before, was also good, but this relatively quiet place was more memorable. Weather without a single cloud is nice, but the sky covered with clouds seems to give it a more dreary feel. (Original) 2023 홋카이도 바이크여행. 北太平洋シーサイドライン(북태평양시사이드라인)드라이브 코스를 달리다보면 나온다. 사방을 둘러봐도 아름다운 광경이 눈에 들어온다. 전날 갔던 에리모미사키도 좋았지만, 상대적으로 한적했던 이곳이 더 기억에 남는다. 구름 한점 없는 날씨도 좋지만, 구름으로 덮혀있는 하늘이 더 아련함을 주는것 같다.

(Translated by Google) This is an observation deck at the southern end of Kiritappu Wetland. It's close to the ocean, and if you climb up to the observation deck you can get a 360-degree view without anything blocking your view, but the altitude is not that high, so although you can see the entire marsh, you can only get a good view of the southern half of the marsh. . However, the lower reaches of the rivers such as the Biwase River, which flows through a wetland with only a few shrubs and grasslands, are like intricate coves, and the small village of Biwase that spreads along it has a combination of majesty and solitude. It created a unique scenery and was very interesting. (I might have had a different impression if it was in season.) (Original) 霧多布湿原の南端にある展望台です。 海に近く、展望台に登れば視界を遮るものがなく360度見渡せますが、標高はそれほど高くはないので、湿原方面は一応全体を見渡せるものの、よく見えるのは湿原南半分にほぼ限定されます。 しかし、わずかな低木の他は草原が広がる湿原の中に流れる、入り組んだ入江のような琵琶瀬川等の川の下流部と、それに沿って広がる琵琶瀬の小さな集落が、雄大さと寂寥感を併せ持った特有の景色を生み出しており、興味深かったです(霧多布湿原は花の湿原との別名があるようで、私が訪れたのは花がほぼない9月半ばでしたが、6~7月頃の花のシーズンだとまた違った印象を抱いたかもしれません)。

(Translated by Google) Visited on June 6, 2022. If you walk for a little over 10 minutes through the grassland from the parking lot, you will see a spectacular view along the coast. There is a sign along the way, and the trail is divided into Cape Namida and Tateiwa, but Cape Namida has a well-maintained wooden path and is easy to walk on. On the Tateiwa side, there are no ups and downs as you walk through grassland, so it's not difficult to walk. Access: From Akkeshi, cross the Akkeshi Ohashi Bridge and follow the road. You will see directions to Cape Namida and Tateiwa on the sea side, and there is a parking lot right away. (Original) 2022年6月6日 訪問。 駐車場から草原を10分強歩くと,海岸沿いに整備された絶景が現れる。 途中で立て札があり,涙岬と立岩に分かれるが,涙岬の方は,木道がある程度整備されていて,歩きやすい。 立岩側も,草原を歩いていく形でアップダウンはないので,歩きにくいと言うほどではない。 アクセスは厚岸から,厚岸大橋を渡って道道を進むと海側に涙岬・立岩の指示があり,すぐ駐車場がある。

(Translated by Google) If you walk through the grassland for a few hundred meters from the parking lot, you will see a wonderful view of the sea and the rocky surface. A rock with the profile of a sad maiden. On the other side is Tateiwa, leaning forward as if heading towards the hill to see his beloved daughter. The legend is displayed in the parking lot, so reading it and seeing it is a very moving scene. (Original) 駐車場から数百メートル草原の中を歩くと素晴らしい景観の海と岩肌が広がります。悲しげな乙女の横顔の岩。反対側には愛する娘に会いたくて丘を目指すように前のめりの立岩。伝説が駐車場に表示してあるのでそれを読んで見るととても感慨深い風景です。

(Translated by Google) I learned about it from my sister. You can see a wonderful view. I get nervous as I walk through an empty grassland from the parking lot for a while, but suddenly a spectacular view appears in front of me. Cape Namida is beautiful, but the view from the North Pacific Seaside Line from Nosappu to Kiritappu and Cape Namida is also beautiful. (Original) 姉から教えてもらい知りました。素晴らしい絶景に出会えます。駐車場からしばらく何もない草原の中を進んで行くので不安になりますが、突然目の前に絶景が現れます。涙岬も美しいですが、納沙布から霧多布、涙岬までの北太平洋シーサイドラインから見る景色も美しいです。

(Translated by Google) End of August 2021. My first visit to Akkeshi Town, I arrived at the spectacular Cape Namida Misaki. But there was a very sad legend here... Even though it's a legend, it makes you realize that what you always thought was commonplace wasn't actually commonplace. I usually tend to forget, but I want to remember as much as possible. (Original) 2021.8月末。厚岸町に初めて訪れて、着いた先は絶景の涙岬。 でもここはとても悲しい伝説があったのですね・・。 伝説とはいえ、いつも当たり前だと思っていたことが実は当たり前じゃなかったことに気付かされる。 普段は忘れがちだけど、なるべく忘れないでいたいな。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is just off the road. The grass is so thick that it's hard to see. Park your car on the gravel and walk about 600m to the cape. There are lots of signs warning people that there is a lot of theft. See you again when the weather is nice.

(Translated by Google) There is a large private parking lot and a well-maintained walking path. The promenade did not go all the way to the tip of Cape Aikappu, but instead led to a field on a hill with a good view, where a monument to ring a bell was installed. From there, I couldn't see beyond Cape Aikappu because it was blocked by trees, and although I could see what looked like a road, it was already dusk and it was dark so I didn't have the energy to go from here to the tip. The distance from the parking lot to the hill was about 500m, which took about 5 minutes.There was a natural museum along the way, but it was already closed at this time. The top of this hill is in a particularly high position among the capes, hills, and plateaus that extend far above the sea level as far as the eye can see, and from here you can look down on the coastline with its height differences and the ocean that stretches out forever in front of you. It was a spectacular view. (Original) 大きな専用駐車場としっかりとした歩きやすい遊歩道が整備されている。遊歩道は愛冠岬の先端まで行けるものではなく、鐘を鳴らせるモニュメントが設置された見晴らしの良い丘の野原まで続いていた。そこからは、木々に遮られていて愛冠岬の先まで見えず、道らしきものは見えたが、すでに夕暮れ時で薄暗くここから先端部に向かう気力はなかった。駐車場から丘のまでの距離は500mぐらいで5分ほど、途中に自然博物館があったがこの時間にはもう閉まっていた。 この丘の上は、見渡す限り続く海面よりはるかに高く盛り上がった岬や丘や台地の中でもひときわ高い位置にあって、ここから見下ろす高低差がある海岸線と、目の前にどこまでも広がる海原の眺めは絶景だった。

(Translated by Google) After enjoying a canoe tour across Kiritappu Wetland, this center provided a refresher. The view from the observation corner was amazing, and I thought about ordering something at the cafe corner, but the staff seemed to be working on something, so I went down to the floor below and bought a yogurt drink at the shop. I climbed back up. It was a hot day in July, but the air conditioning wasn't working very well, so I was a little disappointed that I couldn't stay in the strong sunlight by the window for very long. There were plenty of exhibits and a kids' corner, and even though it was free, it was a fun facility. (Original) 霧多布湿原をカヌーで渡るツアーを楽しんだ後、このセンターによって復習しました。 展望コーナーからの見晴らしが素晴らしく、喫茶コーナーで何か注文しようかと思いましたが店員さんがワンオペで何か作業されていらっしゃる様だったので、下のフロアに降りて売店でドリンクヨーグルトを購入して登り直しました。 7月の暑い日でしたが空調があまり効いていなかったので、窓際の日差しの強い場所にはあまり長時間いられなかったのが少々残念。 展示物やキッズコーナーも充実しており、無料なのになかなか楽しめる施設でした。

(Translated by Google) Located on a hill overlooking the Kiritappu Wetland, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Kiritappu Wetland from the observation corner. There is also a tea room where you can enjoy the scenery of Kiritappu Wetland while relaxing with a cup of tea. There is also a library with a collection of letters about nature, a kids corner for children, and a shop, which I am very grateful to be able to use for free.

(Translated by Google) On November 13, 2021, I went to Kiritappu Wetland Center! It's been 3 months since I last drove. There was also a state of emergency declared, but I thought I'd wait until I got my second dose of vaccination. This time I was aiming for Cape Kiritappu in Hamanaka Town, and this is the Wetland Center that I stopped by on the way. Isn't it a beautiful building? The inside is also beautiful, decorated with kelp grown in Hamanaka-cho, and there are other ideas to make it fun for children, so I think people with children will also enjoy it. There is an observation deck/cafe on the second floor, but since we arrived around 9:00 AM, the store had not yet opened, so we couldn't look at the menu inside out. But it's a good place to take a break while looking at the wetlands. However, this facility does not have a rooftop, so even though it is on a hill, it feels like you can see the marsh through the glass, so that may be a bit disappointing. Souvenirs were also sold on the first floor, and I was able to buy kelp! After all, I don't know where local kelp is sold in Hamanaka Town... For now, we also have a small souvenir kelp in a baby bag, so we recommend it! Then we left the facility and took a walk around the area. I mentioned this because there is a wooden path with a plant called ``Yachibozu'' that I like. This thick plant covered in dry grass is called Yatsubouzusan. It looks like a nest of a small animal, but it is a normal plant, so if you are interested, please check it out. Since it's a boardwalk, you should be able to walk forever and enjoy the marshland, but it was a bit scary to walk alone, so I turned back at the entrance of the boardwalk, but if it's not autumn, the flowers are blooming and I think it'll be fun next year. I think I'll try wearing it in warmer weather. Lastly... please be careful where you step. There are a lot of things rabbits have lost lol (Original) 2021年11月13日、霧多布湿原センターに行って参りました! ドライブという名目では早3ヶ月ぶりです。緊急事態宣言もありましたが、とりあえずワクチン2回終わらせてからと思いまして💦 今回は浜中町の霧多布岬を目指していたのですが、途中立ち寄ったこがこの湿原センターです。キレイな建物でしょう? 中も綺麗で、浜中町で取れる昆布が飾ってあったり、お子様も楽しめるような工夫もあったりとお子様連れの方も楽しめると思います。 2階には展望台兼cafeがあるのですが、到着がAM9:00過ぎくらいだったのでまだ開店前だったためメニューは裏返しで見ることができませんでした。でも湿原を見ながら休憩するには良いところです。 ただこの施設、屋上とかがなくてせっかくの高台にあってもガラス越しに湿原を見る感じなのでそこは少し残念ポイントかもです。 1階にはお土産も売っていて昆布なんか買えました!何しろ浜中町ってどこで地元の昆布を売っているのかよくわからくて...。とりあえずここでは子袋に入ったちょっとしたお土産コンブもあるのでオススメです! そして施設から出て周辺散策。私の好きな「やちぼうず」っていう植物の木道があるとうことで言ってみました。この枯れ草にまみれてこんもりとしてる植物がやつぼうずさんです笑 小動物の巣に見えますがれっきとした植物なので興味のある方は調べて見て下さいね。 木道っていうからには永遠と歩いて湿原を楽しめるはずなのです、一人で歩くにはちょっと怖くて、木道入口で引き返してきましたが、秋じゃなければお花も咲いているし楽しめると思うので来年は暖かい時期に着てみようと思います。 最後に...足元にはお気をつけ下さい。ウサギさんの落し物がいっぱいありますので笑

(Translated by Google) There is a nursing area separate from the restrooms, and there is plenty of wooden play equipment for children to take off their shoes, so it might be perfect for families with small children. However, the air conditioner inside the building is not very effective, so it might be best to avoid visiting during the hot season. (Original) 授乳所がトイレとは別にあったり、子どもが靴を脱いで遊べる木製遊具が充実していたりするので、小さなお子さん連れに最適かも。 ただ、館内のクーラーがほとんど効いてないので、暑い時期は避けた方が無難かも。
