[Hokkaido] A place where you can feel the Ainu spirit: Lake Akan Ainu Kotan

Akanko Ainu Kotan is a district where Ainu craft shops, theaters that teach Ainu culture, museums and galleries that house crafts are all gathered! The theater has different programs depending on the season, so you can enjoy it any time of the year✨ Personally, I recommend visiting at night rather than during the day! It's nicely lit up and very beautiful. Also, nature is nearby, so you can see wild animals such as deer🦌 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name: Akanko Ainu Kotan Address: 4-7-19 Akanko Onsen, Akan-cho, Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido Access: Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes by bus from JR Kushiro Station Approximately 1 hour by bus from Kushiro Airport Closed: Open all year round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #0 yen travel autumn #Akanko Ainu Kotan #Hokkaido trip
