You arrive on a windswept open area, and people queue to photograph a pointed marker showing the northernmost point of Japan that can be reached by car. A little higher up, on the grass, the statue of Mamiya Rinzō looks out to sea; it was erected in 1980 for the two hundredth anniversary of his birth: in 1808 he set out from right here and discovered that Sakhalin is an island. On clear days you can see the island, forty-three kilometres away.
The northernmost point of land in Japan, on the Sea of Okhotsk, about thirty kilometres east of the city of Wakkanai; on clear days you can see Sakhalin. On the headland stand the monument of the northernmost point, a lighthouse and a viewpoint.
ℹ️ Always accessible, outdoors and with no shelter from the wind. It is very far from everything else on the map: from Sapporo it is more than 300 km.
