Iwanai
7.1
Lower score (below 6)
Iwanai is a former herring fishing town on the Shakotan Peninsula coast with around 13,000 people and a history that peaked in the Meiji-era herring boom. The fish left and the population contracted significantly. The town has a coastal character and some local fishing continues, but the broader economy is hollowed out. No nightlife district, no tourist infrastructure beyond some seasonal fishing tourism. A foreign man here is likely on a driving tour of the peninsula and passing through.
