Capture the stunning sunset and more in pictures!
Model course for the evening to night time

First, dress right to enjoy the sunset

If you are planning to enjoy the sunset and then walk around the city, you need to pay attention to what you wear.
Though it may be warm during the day, it gets surprisingly cold at night here.
During the winter, you need to wear a coat, hat, scarf, gloves and a pair of non-slip footwear so that you don't fall on a frozen road.

Off to the famous sunset viewing spot, "Nusamai Bridge"!

After a short while, they arrive at "Nusamai Bridge", which is said to be the closest famous sunset viewing spot from the station.

Once the sun starts to set, the entire city becomes wrapped in orange and pink colors, in a fantastical atmosphere.
"Wow! It's so romantic!" "So, why are we here in a group of 3 women?" "... It's ok."

You can also make a picture like this, by combining an instax of the sunset and the actual scenery.

The "magic hour" that makes any picture beautiful

Immediately after the sunset is a magic time slot when any pictures taken come out beautiful!
According to a group that introduces the attractiveness of the sunset in Kushiro called the "Kushiro Yuyake Club",「Kushiro Yuyake Club」the changes in the sky after the sunset depend on the clouds on that day, so you should stay and enjoy the view for at least 10 to 30 minutes after the sunset. The fact that it is beautiful even after the sunset makes you feel lucky!

If you have extra free time, you should also visit Kushiro Saki Lighthouse

Another recommended spot is "Kushiro Saki Lighthouse". It's about a 20-minute walk from Nusamai Bridge.
Once you walk up the hill, the ocean lies in front of you, and the huge sun slowly sets into the ocean.

There are few buildings around the lighthouse, so you can take as many pictures as you want! What a luxury!

Warm up your cold body with Robata,

the Kushiro Style Seafood BBQ.

After the sun completely sets, the three ladies who are chilled to the bones go to "Kushiro Bangoya," which serves Kushiro's famous robatayaki, the Kushiro Style Seafood BBQ.

After listening to the female server's detailed explanation of dishes lined up on the counter, they patiently wait for their grilled dishes to arrive.

And here they are! They have got their grilled whelks! Just poke one whelk with a bamboo skewer and spin, and...

Pop! It comes out perfectly! It is such an addictive thing to do.

And the soup inside the seashell is amazingly delicious.
"I think I can keep drinking this whelk soup forever!" "Three of us doing this together, it's a bit too much, don't you think?" "It's too good to care what other people might think of us!"
When you visit Kushiro, you might find quite a bit of girls sipping soup out of whelks... just maybe!
