Local Information in hokkaido Prefecture

Lemme show you my special little secret spot ;‑)

Store name: Sapporo Station North Exit store

The upload pace of the blogs are just too fast these days...

This is Yoshida from the Sapporo Station North Exit store = )

Today I’d like to feature a spot that I wanted to keep a secret.

The name of the place?

It’s “Benten-jima Island!!”

There are several places named Benten-jima Island nationwide, but Hokkaido has two (Wakkanai and Tomarimura)!

(Don’t quote me on this, if there are more, please tell me ; - ) LOL

The Benten-jima Island in Tomarimura is extremely relaxing. It has beautiful-blue oceans with plenty of starfishes and hermit crabs in the shallow waters.

Just cross the bridge from the national roads and voila ★

There are areas to keep from going any deeper than the shallow waters so it’s a perfect place to enjoy with small children ♬

Next to it is a beach and there’s also camping grounds nearby so I definitely recommend it!

Social distance protocols are put in place perfectly so definitely stop by if you’re ever heading towards Kamoenai ♪

You can even try fishing here too =D

For details, a quick search for “Tomarimura, Benten-jima Island” should do the trick ♪
