Morning glow seen in Soya Misaki cape.
The glow is so stunning that tourists come here just to see it. This is superb view which is indescribable.
Of course, the Monument of Japan's Northernmost land in day time is marvelous scenery!
In front of "Monument of Japan's Northernmost land", there is a bronze statue of famous explorer, Maniya Rinzo, who made a trip to Sakhalin during Edo period.
There is a souvenir shop around Soya Misaki cape, where "Certificate of Arrival to Japan's Northernmost land" is sold.
In sunny day, harmony of blue sky, blue sea and the Monument of Japan's Northernmost land is beautiful if you step back a little bit. As the distance to Russian Sakhalin (Ex-Karafuto) is approx. 43km, it's possible to see Sakhalin when the sky is clear.
In this shop you can buy "Certificate of Arrival to Japan's Northernmost land". There are also many souvenirs marked as "Japan's Northernmost", so please drop by.
The location of the shop, "45°31'14"N" and the date are written outside, so it's a good memory to take photo in front of the shop.
Inside the shop there is a facility where you can experience "minus 11.9C°". Amazing!
If you enter the facility of minus 11.9 C°, you can see stuffed animals of Winter on the ice and experience severe Winter of snowing country.
We have shown superb photos of Soya Misaki cape as Japan's Northernmost land, but its highlights are not only those. Wakkanai area, where Soya Misaki cape is located, is a land full of nature and good driving course. Periglaciation land, registered as a Hokkaido's heritage, is gentle hilly country at the level of 20-200 meters high.
Japan's biggest wind power plant with 57 generators in approx. 1,500 ha pasture.
You may want to stop driving and go closer to see the immense view of the windmills standing in straight line.
If you visit in Summer, you can enjoy fresh green "pasture", which is unique scenery in Hokkaido.
Rishiri, an solitary island of Hokkaido can be seen clearly from driving course.
And do not forget Hokkaido's gourmet! Delicacies from sea, Seafood in Wakkanai area is delicious, and above all, famous "Uni-don", sea urchin bowl with rice* in Karafuto Shokudo (kitchen)* is recommended. Tourists who come for sightseeing in Soya Misaki cape mostly come to taste "Karafuto Shokudo's" sea urchin bowl. Please check gourmet information, too!
You may feel as if you were in somewhere of foreign country.
In sunny day the clouds' figures are reflected on the water surface and mysterious scenery appears. As the water is transparent, the sea water seems to be shallow.
During the trip you may have chance to meet deers, and this scene is unique in Hokkaido. The deers are not afraid of humans and live in imposing air.
I saw Inari Shinto shrine while driving and decided to drop by. The contrast of green field, blue sky and Shinto shrine's gate was very beautiful.
