Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

For a true taste of Hokkaido’s dramatic coastal beauty, Rebunge Coast in Toyoura Town offers an unforgettable escape.

Part of the Toya-Usu UNESCO Global Geopark, this striking coastal area overlooks Funka Bay (Uchiura Bay), where bold contrasts define the scenery. Mt. Konbu rises majestically to the north, while to the south, rugged cliffs and unique rock formations—sculpted over time by relentless waves—create a captivating landscape.

Often referred to as the “Romantic Coast,” this destination enchants visitors with ever-changing views. As light shifts throughout the day, the shifting colors of the sea and rocky shoreline transform, revealing picturesque moments that feel almost painterly—making it a beloved spot for photography enthusiasts.

A leisurely walk along the shoreline leads you to a peaceful campground and the Literary Monument Park. Here, memorials dedicated to renowned Japanese poets and writers—including Yosano Tekkan and Akiko, Saito Mokichi, and Ito Sei—stand quietly amidst nature. Surrounded by the rhythmic sound of waves and fresh sea breezes, visitors can enjoy a reflective space where literature and landscape intertwine.

Toyoura Town is also celebrated as a prime producer of mouthwatering strawberries. At the nearby Michi-no-Eki roadside station, freshly harvested seasonal produce awaits, filling the air with a sweet, inviting aroma that adds another delightful layer of enjoyment.
