Noshappu Cape
This cape takes its name from Ainu-language phrases meaning “the cape that juts out like a jaw” and “the place where waves are broken up.” There are views of Mt. Rishiri and Rebunto Island, and the island of Sakhalin is just visible in the distance; the sight of the sun setting below the horizon is especially beautiful. Visitors can also look round Noshappu Aquarium, where they can view a variety of fish that live in the seas of Hokkaido, including the mysterious Sakhalin Taimen.

Review

- Sunset
- We reached Wakkanai just in time to see the sunset at Cape Noshappu. At this time of the year, there wasnt too many people. Fortunately for us, the weather was fantastic.

- Come here for the Sunset
- Just 15 minutes drive from the JR Wakkanai Station to this nice open spot (next to the aquarium) to breath in the fresh air and see the gorgeous sunset.

- Already cold in August
- By having visited Wakkanai, we decided to stop by Cape Noshappu.It was late August but already felt chilly.It’s a pointing out at the end of Japan Sea and one can see strong currents from the Sea...
