Holidays in Okushiri

When you see seriously spectacular vistas plastered over every TV channel, it's hard not to get FOMO. So why not spoil yourself with a getaway in Okushiri and experience the picture-postcard coastal plains, forests and rivers of Hokkaido?

It's located 710 kilometres north of Tokyo, the capital city of Japan.

Do you want to venture outwards a little? Setana-cho is 55 kilometres to the northeast of Okushiri and Otobe-cho is 60 kilometres to the east. Hop in the car and discover what's out there!

See the countryside from a new perspective and try a bit of mountain climbing or hiking. They're both well-loved activities in this corner of the globe.

Following a busy travel itinerary can be tiring. Why not head outdoors and enjoy a relaxing day of cycling or bird watching?

Overwhelmed by things to do? Often the best way to cram it all in is with a tour. The region offers excellent guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours, cycling tours, city walking tours and culinary tours.

Few things in the world marry absolute exhilaration with a sense of calm quite like hot air ballooning. Take to the heavens and be awestruck by the rolling views below.

Sure, it's nice to be next to the water, but it's going to be way more fun to be on or in it! Don't pass up the chance to have a crack at the region's watersports, such as rafting and canoeing.

Get a slice of the winter action by having a go at snowboarding. If you're not ready to relax in front of the fire, you could also try your hand at skiing.

Spend some time indoors wandering around the wonders of the region's art museums, nature museums, history museums and indoor markets.

Looking for an outdoor activity that will please everyone? The local area features some marvellous open-air museums, farms, open-air markets and gardens.

Find out about the area's history by visiting one or two traditional villages and old towns. If a tour guide isn't around, ensure you do some of your own research.

You don't need to be a believer to appreciate Okushiri's temples and shrines. Get to know local belief systems and find some stillness at the same time.

Whether you enjoy the thrill of Michelin stars or munching on a simple street snack, sampling the local food and drink is one of the best things about travelling. So why not tempt your taste buds by digging into some of the area's appetising offerings?

If you're studying a menu, there's every chance you'll come across meals featuring beef or sea urchin. They're two ingredients which are typically used in the kitchens here.

Are you on the hunt for a classic Okushiri dining experience? There are some signature dishes to watch out for, such as tempura (deep fried seafood or vegetables) and ishikari nabe (salmon and vegetable stew).

Do you still have a little room after your main meal? Then place an order for anpan (sweet roll), an indulgent sweet treat.

For lovers of a satisfying pint, make your way to the nearest bar and ask for Asahi Premium Beer Jukusen. It's best enjoyed alongside some storytelling and socialising with the locals.

If the night calls for something with a bigger kick, order up some junmaishu. On ice or neat — the bartender should know the nicest way to drink it.

Your time in the Hokkaido region is certain to be more engaging if you put in the effort to learn a few of the local phrases and expressions. First of all, try to pronounce 'お誕生日おめでとうございます(otanjōbi omedetō gozaimasu)'. This translates as 'happy birthday'. 'Ikura desu ka?', which means 'how much is this?', is another one you might need.

Celebrated throughout the entire country, Birthday of Emperor Akihito is held on the 23rd of December. If you're lucky enough to be here during this important day, it'll be hard not to get swept up in all the excitement!

When it finally comes time to leave, spend the last of your holiday allowance and wave "後でお会いしましょう (Atode o ai shimashou)" to Okushiri.
