Cape Kamui Scenic Walk
Strenuous Activity
Includes meal
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Unpack your hiking shoes and embark on an exhilarating adventure that will take you through some of Japan's most beautiful scenery.
The 1hour45min scenic motorcoach drive to the Shakotan Peninsula travels through pleasant landscapes and past iconic imagery. The mountainous terrain of Shakotan Peninsula spans over 30 kilometers in length, extending to the northwest. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, the area around this peninsula was a well-known herring fishing ground. Today, fishing is still a main industry, and the fresh sea urchins are heralded as particularly tasty. Arrive at Cape Kamui, located at the northwest edge of the peninsula, and you'll immediately understand why it is considered the peninsula's most scenic spot. In its heyday, this shipping area, along with Capes Motsuta and Ofuyu, were infamous for being one of the three most dangerous shorelines in Hokkaido. While you hike along the designated trails, enjoy wonderful panoramic vistas of the sea. On the tip of the over 80-meter-high cape proudly stands the Cape Kamui Lighthouse, which illuminates a legendary boulder, called Kamui-Iwa (rock), with its eerie glow. Legendary Kamui Rock is believed to actually be a broken-hearted young girl who threw herself into the sea and turned to stone long ago. Take some time to enjoy a traditional lunch.
At the completion of your invigorating day, sit back and relax in the comfortable motorcoach seats as you enjoy a scenic return to Otaru port.
