Cape Sukoton
Standing at the Edge of Japan’s Northern Frontier
Experience the raw power of nature where the deep blue sea meets the endless sky.
Cape Sukoton offers a breathtaking panorama from its rugged cliffs at the northern tip of Rebun Island. Standing at this "edge of the world," you can fully immerse yourself in the true essence of Japan’s northern wilderness.
The dramatic headland plunges into the Sea of Japan, looking out toward the uninhabited Todo Island (Sea Lion Island) just 1 km offshore. Historically a rival for the title of "Japan’s Northernmost Point," the cape still pulses with untamed beauty at latitude 45°27'51"N. On clear days, you can even spot the distant silhouette of Sakhalin across the azure waters, which transform into a landscape of drift ice in winter.
The roar of crashing waves and the scent of salt air tell the story of these powerful, historic sailing waters. Far from the city's bustle, the cape is filled with a profound silence and the vibrant energy of the great outdoors. At night, the rhythmic beam of the Todo Island Lighthouse adds a quiet, nostalgic touch to the scene. As the starting point for the 12.4 km "Cape Trekking Course" to Cape Sukai, it is the perfect place to begin your adventure on Rebun Island.
