Shimukappu

Shimukappu (占冠村, Shimukappu-mura) is a village located in Kamikawa Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan.

As of September 2016, the village has an estimated population of 1,251 and a density of 2.2 persons per km².

The resort is dominated by four 40-storey (121 metre) high-rise towers built during the boom of the late 1980s.

The exteriors of these buildings have recently been redecorated by Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) of Shibuya, Tokyo to make them harmonize better with their surroundings.

[citation needed] Shimukappu is the location of a new nature reserve, called the Horoka Tomamu Montane Forest, established in 2010, by the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity.
