A panoramic view in Shukutsu

The scenery of Shukutsu

Will hike for photos

Perhaps it’s the intrepid traveler in me or maybe it’s the aspiring photography buff that pushes me to go farther. In Otaru, I found myself at the end of the line; the bus would take me no further. No problem, just another opportunity to explore the cliffs near the Hiyoriyama Lighthouse and get a free glimpse at the sea lions in the aquarium. But I notice the sun is peaking through the clouds further up the coast and I see the winding road leading to the Shukutsu Panorama Observation Platform. I can’t resist and so it’s another hike up the hill and another experiential reward and of course – more photographs.
