Gaze upon the quiet landscape where river meets sea at the river mouth
About this spot
The mouth of the Okoppé River, which flows through the town center and empties into the Okhotsk Sea. Though modest in scale, the landscape where river flow meets the sea's horizon offers quiet open-air charm. Visiting at dusk allows you to watch the sky's colors change gradually. Water birds sometimes appear along the shore, and listening to nature's sounds provides a nice rest before entering the festival's bustle.

Tips
