Shiroi Michi
Hokkaido’s Scenic White Road
The “Shiroi Michi (Path of White Shells)” in Wakkanai is a 3 km white road stretching toward the deep blue sea, created by paving crushed scallop shells, a local specialty. Its soft texture and striking contrast with the sky and ocean make it one of Hokkaido’s most photogenic scenic spots.
On clear days, visitors can see Mt. Rishiri and even glimpse Sakhalin. The 57 white wind turbines along the Soya Hills add to the dramatic landscape, making Shiroi Michi perfect for walking, cycling, and capturing unforgettable photos on your journey to Cape Soya.
Note: The road is pedestrian-friendly, so please drive with caution.
