Kamui Cape

Cape Kamui, perched on the Shakotan Peninsula, is a two-hour coastal adventure from Sapporo that rewards you with jaw-dropping views. The drive alone sets the mood, with winding roads and cliffs teasing what’s to come. At the cape, you’ll find the essentials—parking, a restaurant, vending machines (because Japan never skips them), and restrooms. The 15-minute walk to the cape’s tip is straightforward, but brace yourself—it’s windy enough to make you rethink that hat. Totally worth it for the dramatic seascapes.

Cape Kamui is a dramatic, windswept cape jutting into the Sea of Japan, located on the Shakotan Peninsula. Rugged cliffs plunge into turquoise waters, and the narrow path leading to its tip offers panoramic views that feel otherworldly. It’s a place where the raw beauty of nature takes center stage—waves crash below, seabirds circle above, and the wind reminds you who’s in charge. The cape’s untouched charm, combined with its easy access and short walking trail, makes it a must-see for anyone exploring Hokkaido’s wild coastline.
