Not only beautiful things are beautiful, but decaying things are also beautiful. A place that evokes such an end of the world is Todowara. On a map, it is a narrow place that is hard to call land, but there is a road that cars can drive on. After arriving at the Notsuke Peninsula Nature Center, walk along the promenade for 25 minutes to reach Todowara Square. From there, you can follow the wooden path to the observation deck. The view from there is sad, as if the story is about to end. It is not bad to look at yourself from the negative emotions and face tomorrow with a fresh mind. #HokkaidoTrip #Todowara #0YenTripAutumn ──────────────────── Sightseeing spot: Todowara Address: Notsuke, Betsukai-cho, Notsuke-gun, Hokkaido ────────────────────
