Cape Shakotan
Breathtaking beauty! View point for the mystical Shakotan blue sea.
Located in the Cape Shakotan area, Shimamui Coast is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Beaches". It is a popular scenic spot known for its mysterious "Shakotan Blue" waters. The view from the observation deck is a must-see, featuring a dynamic rocky coastline with an incredibly blue sea so clear that you can see the rocky seabed below!
As you walk along the well-maintained nature trail called "Shirara Path", you'll encounter the "Joroko Rock" - a distinctive rock formation standing out towards the sea that resembles the silhouette of a woman. This rock carries a sad legend passed down through generations. In early summer, you can enjoy the yellow flowers of Ezo day lilies blooming on the cliff face.
