Breathtaking Views @ the Western Tip of Japan

#2023travelwish Cape Kamui is located at the western end of Shakotan Peninsula in Hokkaido. It is a steep area surrounded by sea that extends out from the coast into the Sea of Japan. It has an amazing view of the Kamui Cape and it’s waters are uniquely known as the ‘Shakotan Blue’. The drive there itself was breathtaking with coastal views. After parking at the base, we took a hike up the cape. There are plenty of beautiful nature trails to walk around but we chose to walk up and along the ridge of the cape. Most part of the trail is easy with well constructed boardwalks but some of the areas could be a little challenging as it was narrow and rocky. At the tip of the peninsular, we were greeted with a bird’s eye view of the capes and the bluest water we’ve ever seen in our lives. It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by such beautiful scenery. This is a place I would come back a hundred times over, because it is just that majestic. I hope I’ll have the chance to visit Hokkaido again.
