Insider tip — Nukumori, meaning warmth and human connection, perfectly captures what this community spring offers in remote Kamoenai-mura on the Shakotan Peninsula. The village is one of the smallest in Hokkaido, sustained by sea urchin and abalone diving, and the spring serves as a social hub for a fishing community far from the nearest city.
