Cape Noshappu
Where the Golden Sunset Meets the Sea
Breathtaking island silhouettes against a fiery orange sky.
Located at the western tip of Wakkanai, Cape Noshappu is a stunning viewpoint where the Soya Strait meets the horizon. Its name, derived from the Ainu language, reflects its bold shape jutting out into the sea.
From the water’s edge, you can enjoy panoramic views of the elegant Mt. Rishiri and the calm silhouette of Rebun Island. As evening falls, the cape transforms into a dreamlike landscape. The sky and sea are painted in deep crimson, leaving the sharp silhouette of Mt. Rishiri as a lasting memory of your Hokkaido journey.
Beyond the views, the cape offers a glimpse into local life. In summer, you might see fishermen harvesting famous Rishiri kombu in the morning mist. With an aquarium and science museum nearby, it is a perfect place to feel the pulse of the north.
Access: Please check the Soya Bus official website for routes to the cape.
