Cape Chikyu

The Earth is round! Spectacular panoramic view over the Pacific Ocean

It is one of the most scenic spots in Japan, with a series of cliffs around 100 meters high and a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. The symbol of the cape, the white octagonal Cape Chikyu Lighthouse, which stands on a cliff 130 meters above sea level, still plays an important role as a guiding light for ships sailing along the coast. The lighthouse is normally inaccessible, but is open to the public on Marine Day and other holidays. From the observation deck on the hill overlooking the lighthouse, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view that reminds them of the roundness of the Earth, and on clear days, they can see as far as Hakodate in the distance. There are walking paths in the surrounding area where visitors can enjoy forest bathing while viewing seasonal flowers. The area is also a stopover point for migratory birds and is known as a nesting site for the peregrine falcon, which targets migratory birds.
