Shakotan Peninsula

Reviewed By Kwakaku - Sakai, Japan

We left Sapporo around 8:00, drove past Otaru, and arrived at Nioka Whiskey Yoichi Distillery, which was another story. And then we continued to drive along beautiful, sometimes even breathtaking, seashores around the peninsula, which was disturbed with some long tunnels, though. We had lunch at Fuji Zushi, continued on driving to Shimamu Beach, which had another story to tell, and then to Cape Kamui. After the cape, we continued to drive along the Sea of Japan. When we got to Michi-no-eki Osukoi Kamoenai, it was tea time. That was the end of the breathtaking beauty of the strangely shaped rocks and the sea water of Shakotan blue. We were driving back to Sapporo, and, when we reached Otaru, it was almost supper time. We decided to drop on at Otaru, did some shopping and had supper at a branch shop of Fuji Zushi (again!). We enjoyed a full day trip in Hokkaido, although we had to drive in dusk through unfamiliar Sapporo streets.

Cape Kamui

Reviewed By O5633KXsharonm - Abingdon, United States

This is a beautiful place for hiking. There are many steps and in places, the trail is quite steep. If you are afraid of heights, you might not want to visit this area. But, this is a beautiful place in Japan. The trail is at the top of high hills and in most places it is only about 2 to3 feet wide. We walked all the way to the end and were treated to some amazing views of the peninsula and the ocean. There is a little place to eat and a gift shop at the beginning of the hike, near the parking lot. There is an unmanned lighthouse at the end but it wasn't open the day we were there.

Ogon Misaki

Reviewed By sunnyMuguet - Singapore, Singapore

This is probably missed by most people on the way to Cape Shakotan. It's however just a short walk from the Shakotan tourist centre. It is a hilly trail and a pretty short walk, till you reach a 2 storey wooden observation tower. Take in the sea views and relax here.
