    Cape Chikyu is famous for its approximately 14-kilometer stretch of spectacular cliffs, which average around 100 meters in height. On days when the weather is good, the observation platform at Cape Chikyu offers amazing views of the Pacific Ocean; the Cape is very popular as a place to view the first sunrise of the new year on New Year’s Day, with many people coming to watch the sun rise up out of the Pacific Ocean. Cape Chikyu also has a wealth of natural interest; for example, it is famous as a nesting site for peregrine falcons, which come here to breed because of the food source provided by the large numbers of migratory birds.

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
