Yumekukan

Yumekukan (夢喰間) is a shop at roadside station "Sarufutsu Park (さるふつ公園)" in Sarufutsu village, and is next to very large ranch facing the Sea of Okhotsk. Visitors can view magnificent nature. A building is built near Indigirka memorial monument (インディギルカ号遭難者慰霊碑) and Sarufutsu Ikoi-no-Yu (さるふつ憩いの湯). The Sarufutsu village is the most scallops landed town in Japan, so it is famous for the scallops. Fishermen discharge the scallops into the sea, and they raise those up in the sea for 5 years. Natural scallops that are not cultured scallops become sweet thick flesh with high quality. Article is here

Look of Sarufutsu Park

The Isari monument, the Rosian Ship Indigirka Victim Cenotaph, Scallop Fossil of About 4,000 Years Ago (約4000年前の帆立貝の化石) and the parking lot are built along the sea. The sea of Okhotsk (オホーツク海) can be viewed from the sea side. Esanbehanakitakojima Island (エサンベ鼻北小島) may be seen. The Isari monument was built as Sarufutsu people's memorial. They exhausted fishing resources, and suffered extreme poverty. But they raise the scallops, and will recover the rich sea. I guess that it means "A Chinease proverb 臥薪嘗胆 * Perseverance". The Rosian Ship Indigirka Victim Cenotaph was built as memorial in 1971. In 1939, the ship capsized and sunk off the coast, and about 700 people passed away. On the other hand, the Sarufutsu people saved about 400 people.
