Akkeshi
7.9
Lower score (below 6)
Akkeshi is known throughout Japan for its oysters — Akkeshi-gaki are served raw at counters in Tokyo — and the Kiritappu Wetland is one of the best birdwatching sites in the country for whooper swans and white-tailed eagles. At 10,000 residents in the Kushiro subprefecture, this is an active fishing and aquaculture town with a real industry but no social scene. The oyster sheds and marshes don't produce the kind of social environment where a foreign man builds any traction. Come for a meal, not a stay.
