Cape Erimo
Cape Erimo is a cape at the southernmost point in Hokkaido, where the Hidaka Mountains gradually fall in elevation as they approach the Pacific Ocean. It is renowned as one of the windiest places in Japan, with wind-speeds that often exceed 30 meters per second. At the Erimo Wind Museum, visitors can experience Erimo’s strong winds for themselves, and both adults and children will enjoy viewing wild Harbor Seals from the Museum’s observation deck. In 2010, Cape Erimo was designated a National Place of Scenic Beauty under its Ainu-language name Pirika Noka (meaning “beautiful shape”), in recognition of its spiritual importance to the Ainu people as a sacred place.

- 10月とはいえ晴れた暖かい日に来たので襟裳岬日和でした。ここはとんがった岬の突端なので周りはみんな海です。見てもらえば分かりますがとんがった岬の先まで岩礁が続いています。遠浅のようで海の底が結構見えます。ここは天気が良い日と悪い日の雰囲気が正反対になります。晴れた日は本当にのどかでデートにも良いんですよ。実際、今日はアベックもチラホラいます。これが、霧が出た日は怖いんです。周りが何も見...
