📍Cape Stokon, Hokkaido The northernmost cape of Rebun Island is the most scenic spot on the island, where the cliffs of the coast have been turned into a cape. In front of the vast ocean, you can see Kaibajima Island, and on the opposite shore, Cape Kanedano. On a clear day, this place where you can see Sakhalin in the distance is a difficult place to navigate, and at night, the Kaibajima Lighthouse lights up the route. This is the cape where the cape tour course starts. Cape Stokon is often written in kanji as "Sukoton Cape." On a clear day, you can see Sakhalin. In Ainu language, Sukoton means Shikoton Tomari, which means "an inlet in a large valley." #0 yen trip January 2025
