Cape Soya
Visit the Monument to Japan’s Northernmost Point at Hokkaido’s Cape Soya
Looking to trek to Japan’s most extreme frontiers? For the northernmost reaches, you should not miss a stop at Cape Soya, an area that rewards visitors with two beautiful bodies of water: the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan. From this vantage point, eagle-eyed observers can also catch a faint view of Sakhalin Island. As you tour Cape Soya, be on the lookout for the Monument of Japan’s Northernmost Point. Passersby will immediately notice the monument’s unique delta cone-shaped design based on the North Star, a perfect backdrop for your pictures from the north. To commemorate your adventure, pick up a Japan’s Northernmost Point Certificate as a popular souvenir!
