Hokkaido is located in the northernmost part of Japan, and is home to some little-known magical photo spots. Namely, the torii gates that stand in the beautiful sea.
You may be familiar with some famous floating torii, such as Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima Prefecture, and Shirahige Shrine in Shiga Prefecture. But did you know there were some in Hokkaido, as well?
The floating torii gates in the towns of Shosanbetsu and Esashi have garnered quite a bit of attention on social media over the last few years. The towns of Okushiri, Rishiri, and Yoichi are also home to some rather unusual floating torii that have been secretly growing in popularity, as well.
But now, the secret is out as we introduce some little-known Hokkaido spots known for their magnificent views.
