#cherryblossom25 Kabushima Island, a paradise for petrels, a spectacular spot where nature and history interweave Located at the northernmost tip of the Tanesashi Coast, Kabushima Island is a popular spot designated as a national natural monument as a breeding ground for petrels. Originally a remote island, it was reclaimed in 1942 and is now connected to land. About 30,000 to 40,000 petrels fly to the island every year from around March, laying eggs in April and giving birth to chicks in June, when the entire island is covered with petrels, creating a powerful scene. The Kabushima Shrine, located at the top of the island, is said to bring good luck in the form of “increased stock. In mid-May, rape blossoms bloom, creating a beautiful contrast between the red of the torii gate, the blue sky, and the white petrels. There are many places of interest nearby, such as Kabushima Resting Area and Kabushima Promenade Park. It is also the Trail Head & End Point, the northern entrance to the Michinoku Shiokaze Trail.

The Hachinohe Tanesashi Coast in Japan is truly breathtaking. 😭 The Tanesashi Coast in Hachinohe, Japan! It's no exaggeration to say that the beauty here will directly capture your heart. 🚗 Transportation is super convenient, not far from the city center. Whether you're a Hachinohe resident or from the surrounding area, everyone loves to come here to relax. 🌳 As soon as you arrive at Tanesashi Coast, the iconic Tanesashi natural grassland comes into view. The lawn is as soft as a carpet, contrasting sharply with the rugged coastal rocks. Standing here, you feel like you're on the coast of Scotland, with a strong sense of exotic charm. From early summer to autumn, various flowers and plants, such as daylilies and seaside daisies, bloom in turn, adding a lot of color to the green lawn. Walking barefoot on the grass, gazing at the blue Pacific Ocean, all your worries are thrown to the wind, and you're immersed in this beauty and peace. You can also ride horses here, experiencing a different kind of joy amidst the beautiful scenery. 🌊 Walk across the lawn, and you can get up close and personal with the Pacific Ocean. It's a completely different feeling from viewing the sea from an observation deck. Standing on the rocks, you can touch the seawater by squatting down. Many tourists sit quietly on the rocks near the sea, enjoying the sea breeze, listening to the waves, and gently swaying their hands in the seawater. Who can understand that refreshing feeling? This sea is so clean that there's not a trace of impurity. The rocks are covered with small shells, and black-tailed gulls rest on the rocks in the distance, creating a particularly healing scene. 🏠 There's also the Tanesashi Coast Information Center by the coast, with public facilities mainly consisting of three parts. The information center is connected to a rest area, which is also a restaurant, offering drinks and food. There are also various Tanesashi Coast specialty drinks, snacks, and desserts. It's so comfortable to take a break and recharge here after a long walk. There's also an automatic notification device, "Bus Navi," so you don't have to worry about missing the bus. On one side of the information center, you can see the vast natural grassland through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Spending some leisure time here is simply wonderful.

Benten Island is a small island jutting out into the port of Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture. The Kabushima Shrine has been enshrined on a small hill on Benten Island since ancient times. The pronunciation of the name "Kabu" (turnip) brings to mind the idea of ​​competition and popularity, as in the word "kabu" (stock), and it is believed to bring good fortune in business, safety of the home, and good luck in finding a partner. The famous attraction of Kabushima Shrine is the countless black-tailed gulls. In the spring, many black-tailed gulls fly in to breed, hatch eggs, raise chicks, and build nests. A series of steps are carried out until the bird stands up. These black-tailed gulls are not afraid of humans at all. Normally, any bird will run away if a human approaches, but for some reason, the black-tailed gulls at Kabushima Shrine are completely unconcerned and don't care if a human approaches or does anything. They build nests and incubate eggs all over the shrine, which is covered in feces. I've never seen a shrine like this. There are a lot of plastic umbrellas at the entrance to the torii gate to protect from feces, but the challenge of walking around the shrine grounds without an umbrella is also a famous feature. #tripdomestictravel #aomoriprefecture #shrinesandtemples
