Three reasons to spend an extended holiday in Kushiro

Three reasons to spend an extended holiday in Kushiro Extended stay vacations at a favorite destination have become a popular option for retirees and people taking extended leave from work, as a way of rewarding life’s hard work. This is a new form of travel where you spend more time, relax, and take it easy, based on your living arrangement at your destination. With so many choices for destinations in Japan or internationally, what are the three reasons why you shouldn’t overlook Kushiro?

1. Cool summer and little snowfall in the winter

If you are thinking about spending the hot summer in Hokkaido, Kushiro fits the bill perfectly. Kushiro has one of the coolest summers of any city in Hokkaido. Even in the middle of summer, the daytime high temperature averages 21.4 degrees Celsius, so a thin cardigan is all you need. Once September rolls around, the temperature mostly dips below 20 degrees Celsius. Honshu typically sees several days of 30 degree plus heat even in September, but in Kushiro the temperature cools and the trees and vegetation slowly begin to show their dazzling autumn colors.

There are many sunny days in Kushiro from autumn to winter. This is the time of year to view stunning sunsets that make Kushiro the top 3 place to view a sunset in the world, next to Bali in Indonesia and Manila in the Philippines. At November 10 on average, the first snowfall is rather late compared to other places in Hokkaido. The amount of snowfall, too, is light and snow only begins to accumulate around the end of the year.

2. No cedar trees means no pollen allergies

There are no cedar or cypress trees in Kushiro, so there is absolutely zero cedar pollen in the air. The city is like heaven to people with bad pollen allergies. In Japan, the pollen allergy season peaks from February to April. Locations that are close to Honshu have a small chance that pollen could be blown in by the wind. Data indicates that in Kushiro there is zero cedar or cypress pollen in the air, making it ideal as a place to get away from tree pollen. Why not plan an extended stay for Kushiro to breathe in the clean spring air and escape from more pollen heavy areas?

3. Kushiro is the number one place in Hokkaido for trying out relocation before a move

The surrounding area boasts a number of hot springs and world famous tourist destinations. There is also ample opportunity to enjoy the bounty of the sea and mountains.
