About the Four Sisters Izakaya opened by the four elderly women in the movie "If You Are the One"

On the shore of the beautiful Lake Akan in Kushiro City, eastern Hokkaido, Japan, there is a tavern that became famous because of the movie "If You Are the One" by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. It is the "Four Sisters Izakaya" with posters of four beautiful girls and four funny old ladies. The prototype of the "Four Sisters Izakaya" in the movie "If You Are the One" is called "Hamako Izakaya". It is a famous barbecue restaurant in Kushiro City, eastern Hokkaido, and is run by the proprietress named Mano Michiko. In the summer of 2008, when the crew of "If You Are the One" came here to film, the crew combined the local folk customs and plot needs to create a heart-warming image of the "four sisters". Today, with the huge influence of the movie "If You Are the One", the beautiful "Four Sisters" image has made "Hamako Izakaya" a household name, and it has become a well-known local tourism sign, attracting many Chinese tourists.
