Okhotsk (Russian: Охотск; IPA: [ɐˈxotsk]) is an urban locality (a work settlement) and the administrative center of Okhotsky District of Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, located at the mouth of the Okhota River on the Sea of Okhotsk. Population: 4,215 (2010 Census); 5,738 (2002 Census); 9,298 (1989 Census).
It was the main Russian base on the Pacific coast from about 1650 to 1860, but lost its importance after the Amur Acquisition in 1860. It is located at the east end of the Siberian River Routes on the Sea of Okhotsk where the Okhota and the Kukhtuy Rivers join to form a poor but usable harbor.
In 1639 the Russians first reached the Pacific 65 miles southeast at the mouth of the Ulya River. In 1647 Semyon Shelkovnikov built winter quarters at Okhotsk. In 1649 a fort was built (Kosoy Ostrozhok). In 1653 Okhotsk was burned by the local Lamuts. Although the Russian pioneers were skilled builders of river boats they lacked the knowledge and equipment to build seagoing vessels which meant that Okhotsk remained a coastal settlement and not a port. In 1682 Okhotsk had eight dwellings and five other buildings. When the Russians entered the Kamchatka Peninsula they had to travel overland from the north.
The Sea of Okhotsk (Russian: Охо́тское мо́ре, tr. Okhotskoye More; IPA: [ɐˈxotskəɪ ˈmorʲɪ]; Japanese: オホーツク海 Ohōtsuku-kai) is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaido to the south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coast (including the Shantar Islands) along the west and north. The northeast corner is the Shelikhov Gulf. The sea is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East.
The Sea of Okhotsk covers an area of 1,583,000 square kilometres (611,000 sq mi), with a mean depth of 859 metres (2,818 ft) and a maximum depth of 3,372 metres (11,063 ft). It is connected to the Sea of Japan on either side of Sakhalin: on the west through the Sakhalin Gulf and the Gulf of Tartary; on the south, through the La Pérouse Strait.
In winter, navigation on the Sea of Okhotsk becomes difficult, or even impossible, due to the formation of large ice floes, because the large amount of freshwater from the Amur River lowers the salinity which results in raising the freezing point of the sea. The distribution and thickness of ice floes depends on many factors: the location, the time of year, water currents, and the sea temperatures.

A baby bowhead whale was stranded at the bay of the Sea of Okhotsk near Bolshoi Shantar Island in eastern Russia, early on Thursday. The young animal swam into the bay but was unable to leave due to the low tide. Trying to escape from the area, the whale reportedly injured himself. Hopes were high for the next tide to move the animal into the sea. However, the stream was not strong enough for the baby whale to escape.

Medieval Japanese Samurai weapons anyone? Probably the best Japanese souvenir shop I have come across. Pretty awesome stuff. I hope you enjoy this cinematic/casual vlog of the Great Buddah of Kamakura! -------------------------------- The Great Buddha of Kamakura (鎌倉大仏, Kamakura Daibutsu) is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which stands on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. With a height of 13.35 meters, it is the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, surpassed only by the statue in Nara's Todaiji Temple. The statue was cast in 1252 and originally located inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were destroyed multiple times by typhoons and a tidal wave in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since 1495, the Buddha has been standing in the open air. Source: http://www.j...
Eastern Hokkaido has plenty of attractive scenery and food !!
Visitors can see and touch seals at Okhotsk Tokkari Center. You may be surprised to learn about their biology. At feeding time, they come out of the pool and you might even have a chance to see them eating fish up close. ●Facebook 【Philippines / Malaysia】 Good day Hokkaido https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.en ●Facebook 【台灣】 Good day 北海道 https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.tw/ ●Facebook 【ประเทศไทย】 กู๊ดเดย์ฮอกไกโด https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.th/ ●Facebook 【Indonesia】 Badan Promosi Pariwisata Hokkaido https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaidoid/

Dotonbori in Namba, Osaka is probably the best street in the whole of Japan for a food lover! Lined with restaurants selling all the best Japanese cusine, Okonomiyaki, Tempura, Sushi and so on, with nearly all shops featuring illuminated displays and amazing mechanized signs (The giant crab was our favourite)! We got to try some amazing food, 'The second best Ice Cream Melon Pan' shop was the best Ice Cream Melon Bread we've ever had, and of course we had to try Takoyaki, tasty fried Octopus balls! If you're wondering what to do in Osaka (the kitchen of Japan) then make sure Namba & Dotonbori are on your list, don't forget to snap a selfie in front of the Glico Man as well!

The Shiretoko-hanto Peninsula in northeastern Hokkaido juts out into the Sea of Okhotsk. It is said to be the last unexplored region of Japan, and consists of steep mountain peaks covered with virgin forests. Cormorants and white-tailed sea eagles live there, and the whole area has been designated as a national park. The towns of Utoro and Rausu on the eastern side of the peninsula are the starting points for tourists. Visitors can see the whole of the peninsula and its cliffs by boarding a sightseeing boat that departs from Utoro Port.Shiretoko is known as a "waterfall kingdom," and many waterfalls can be seen from the sightseeing boat: the warm-water Kamuiwakkayu-no-taki Falls, which gives off steam; Furepe-no-taki Falls, which is so beautiful it is called "maiden's tears;" and Oshinkosh...
With a name deriving from the Ainu (native Hokkaido civilization) word for seal, the Okhotsk Tokkari Center is a facility where seals (tokkari) from the Okhotsk Sea are raised and cared for.
