Cape Kiritappu
A romantic cape with beautiful reefs leading to the sea
Kiritappu Cape, located on the eastern side of the Kiritappu Peninsula at an elevation of 40 to 60 meters, juts out into the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean. Its official name is Tofutsu Cape, but it is also known as Tokkari Cape because seals (tokkari) can often be seen there. From the observation deck, you can see Sail Rock, where seals reside, 3 kilometers away, as well as the cliffs of Ponporoto and Moraito across Hamanaka Bay, and the coastline. The Tobutsu Cape Lighthouse at the tip of the cape was recognized as Hokkaido's first "Lover's Lighthouse" on September 30, 2016, by the Japan Romanticist Association and the Nippon Foundation as part of the "Lover's Lighthouse Project.
