Japan’s Northernmost Point: Cape Soya!

⛅ Where Japan Touches the Sky: Discover Cape Soya’s Northern Charm

With breezy grasslands rolling towards the deep blue ocean, Cape Soya in Wakkanai gives you that far-north, open-air freedom. Just steps from the “Landmark of The Northernmost Point in Japan,” you’re gazing at endless horizons—perfect for a summer escape where the wind keeps things refreshingly cool.

🚗 Recommended Route:
Best to rent a car and drive here for flexibility. The road flows past lush wetlands before arriving at the Cape—public transit options are limited and can be time-consuming.

🌿 Must-Do Activities:
Snap a photo at the iconic Northernmost Point monument and wander the grasslands for panoramic ocean views. On clear days, you might even spot the silhouette of nearby Russian islands across the sea!

📸 Top Photo Spots:
Capture the sweeping green hills with bright blue water in the distance—the image feels endless. For close-ups, frame the monument against the sparkling sea and sky. Don't miss the contrast of wildflowers in the grassland foreground.

🛈 Practical Tips:
Visit in the morning or late afternoon for gentler light and a quieter experience. Even in summer, bring a light jacket—the seaside breeze can be surprisingly bracing. Facilities are limited, so grab snacks and water in Wakkanai before setting out. Lots of souvenir shops around the area; don’t forget to take some with you before going back!

⚠️ Precautions:
Watch out for strong wind at the cape, especially when standing near the monument. Stay on marked paths to protect the delicate wetland grasslands.
